David Macaulay is the Best!

A Huge THANK YOU 

To The Great DAVID MACAULAY!

I don't think I have to explain what an honor it was to have such a talented author/illustrator take the time, after lecturing and signing books all day at the Book Fair...

 to stay and guest critique my UCONN Advanced Illustration class !

It was a thrill for the students, and it was a thrill for me! 

David was an incredibly insightful, and generous speaker.

His past years teaching certainly showed; 

and I personally learned a lot from his style of critique. 

THANK YOU FROM ALL OF US!

UCONN Book Fair 2011!

I will be at the Connecticut Children's Book Fair again 

this weekend!

But, I will not be presenting... 
Instead I've had the pleasure of teaching the talented Illustration Students at UCONN this semester!
