Updated Blatherings: Lunch with the Tolsons

Had a lovely lunch with Maclean's photo editor and YA writer Andrew Tolson and his family. Updated my personal Blatherings with a post about friends, food and creative young people.

Daily Drawing: HappyFall

I created this digital image using SketchBook Pro for the Mac and Photoshop CS5. Having a great weekend and I hope the rest of you are, too!

What's Been Happening In My Life Lately

Apologies for the lack of Daily Drawings. I was away in NYC for a week for the SCBWI conference and a meeting at Simon & Schuster Books For Young Readers. Then something EXTREMELY EXCITING happened which I can't talk about yet but hope to soon. Then I was hit by a cold bug.

Summary: I'm only starting to get caught up and am going to be resuming my doodles and drawings again. But meanwhile, feel free to check out other things I've been doing lately:

Updated my I'M BORED Scrapbook with more posts about the process of creating a picture book

I hit 16,000 followers on my @inkyelbows Twitter account! Here's my post about Valerie Haight, my 16,000th follower.

I'll be speaking at Autodesk's first SketchBook event in Toronto! Very excited about this.
