Party- And You're Invited!!

Wow- a great event right in your own backyard! Alison Paul, recent Visiting Rock Star, invites all of UConn's fabulous illustrators to this event. I hear the music's gonna be good and the artwork, even better (we're talkin' an installation, folks!). So, come on out and see how the pros make promotion fun!

See you there.

VISITORS! FINALLY!!

There are some great illustrators coming in to classes in the near future at UConn and anyone who is in the area is free to stop in. Ask questions! Get inspired! Leave jazzed!

Monday, April 20th, Lindy Tucker will visit Senior Project around 3 pm. She wrote and illustrated her own book, then took it around, eventually getting a publisher in Michigan to pick it up and Borders to distribute it (or something like that). She's in the middle of a second book for the same publisher. So, she has a great entrepreneurial story to tell. You'll benefit from it!

Tuesday, April 21st, Iris Van Rynbach will visit an illustration class around 1 pm. She's working on 4 different articles right now, or something. You can see her work and resume here:

Thursday, April 30th, Alison Paul will visit an illustration class, also around 1 pm. She's a great person, young (i.e. you'll relate), and really easy to talk with. You can see some of her work here:

She's currently working on another book and has lots of stories to share.

So, if you are available, stop by!! This is all happening in Room #108! Such a hotbed of creativity, that room!!

Visiting Rock Stars!!

Be at the Dodd Center tomorrow, Thursday the 9th, for a "Mocktail Party" featuring our four FAB-ooo-lous visiting author-illustrators: Rudy Gutierrez, Alison Paul, Chris Raschka and Javaka Steptoe! Yes! Can you believe how lucky you are?! Me neither! It starts at 5 pm.

Check out their work, remember to comb your hair and brush your teeth and you'll be ready. See you there.

On Friday the 10th we'll see you in the Class of 1947 Room at the Babbidge Library for a presentation by all four that begins at 11:30 am (be there at 11:15- bring questions and a sketchbook!). That lasts until 1 -pm.

Then, as though it could get any better than that, Seniors return for a 2-4 pm Master Class session. Bring a few samples of work!
