2009 SCCRC Asilomar Reading Conference
This Saturday I will be attending this conference and am very excited. I've been waiting since October! I will have a chance to talk to Children's Book authors and Illustrators. Among them I will be hearing Eve Bunting speak and also having cocktails with her!
As some of you know I am working on 2 projects at the moment. 1 has been put to the side (my Dichos and Refranes Book) for a more urgent project, The Star Tree. I am ever so grateful to have met Jeff Palmer, who wrote this magnificent story he has given me the privilege to illustrate. As of now we've collaborated on getting the story ready to show to publishers and its now in dummy book format. Saturday will its big day as it will be its first showing. We'll see what the big guys have to say about our efforts.
Wish us luck!

2008 Society of Illustrators Student Scholarship Competition
Last year I entered some pieces into the Society of Illustrators Student Scholarship Competition. This is a prestigious Society that promotes the art and appreciation of illustration through exhibits, lectures and publications. The Student Competition is a nationwide competition and tough to get into the competition. The Academy of Art has a high record of acceptances into the competition and last year 9 students from the Academy were accepted with a total of 13 pieces! I was one of the lucky 3 to have 2 pieces accepted! Everyone accepted I know personally and all deserved it, as I was very proud to share the spotlight with them in New York.
