Illustrator News: Jerry Dowling in CityBeat

Cool article about Jerry's mural in Arthur's! It also mentions the book he is finishing on Hollywood caricatures.

It is funny that the article mentions that people often ask if they can get their portrait added to the mural.

New Book Trailer: Why the Possum has a Large Grin

You all can probably tell I am really excited about this one.

I am so delighted to finally work with an author/musician. It made the trailer so fun! Yes, it is clear I watched way to many Warner Brothers cartoons as a kid...

I love this book; I hope people who read it enjoy it as much as I enjoyed illustrating it! (Out this Fall, 2012)

Warning: This song gets stuck in your head! (Although while editing, I probably listened to it 1000 times)

Neil Gaiman's Commencement Address

I know this has virally ricocheting around the web, but it is really worth watching. Gaiman says a lot about the direction media and publishing are going that I have said (more eloquently though).

It also is a good companion the the Noah Z. Jones interview that I posted a couple days ago.
