Have a Happy Holiday!

This year I had the pleasure of designing my rep., 
(and former employer)
Studio Goodwin Sturges' Holiday card!

(We embedded the vid in the company's Constant Contact newsletter, 
but here's a condensed preview)

Owner Judy Sue Goodwin Sturges and I decided that an old fashioned stop-motion animation would suit both our likings. 


And so I began!


  cutting and jointing...


penning and inking...


and before you knew it...


I had a Winter Wonderland.


Thank you Judy Sue for letting me have so much fun with this!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!

The Wonderful Elicia Castaldi!

Last Tuesday, my Advanced Illustration class at UCONN 
had the pleasure of meeting my friend, 
Author/Illustrator Elicia Castaldi!

Elicia gave a lecture about her work,


and even stayed to critique the student's work!

Elicia discussed her new book due out next year,


This is the long awaited sequel to 
Written by Jennifer L. Holm 
(EIGHTH GRADE IS MAKING ME SICK is due out Fall 2012 from Random House)

THANKS AGAIN ELICIA! 
(We'd love to have you back any time : )
