Another Beaver

The kids at Westcreek Public School asked if I could post this image for them. So… here it is. I touched it up a little, but not much. I hope you still like it! Thanks for hosting me for a morning. I had a great time. I hope you did too.

LA Lakers

I recently found this interesting article on the NBA website. How cool is it to get a mention in an article about the LA Lakers basketball team? And then, if you watch the video, you’ll get a couple glimpses of Grumpy Bird being read to kids by a Laker!

Epic, Simple

This is one of the nicest articles that anyone has written about me so far. Sonja Bolle of the LA Times wrote a great review of Boo Hoo Bird but also included a part of an interview that we did over the phone. The resulting article is very flattering and she says some very kind things about yours truly here. Thanks Sonja! I’m honored. We discussed all three of my books when we talked. It was a great opportunity to reflect on the books and realize how much I’ve learned from them and from the amazing people I work with. And nice to have an article that links all three projects together. Now go read it!

Theo

Dear blog readers,

In case you noticed that there haven’t been any updates in a while, there’s a good reason: my wife and daughter and I welcomed a new member of the family a couple of weeks ago. Theo Tankard was born on May 16th. He’s very cute and I’ve been enjoying having a baby in the house again. Needless to say it’s put a bit of a dent in my work, but that’s to be expected. In the next few weeks I’ll be getting back on my feet again and will hopefully be back to semi-regular blogging (and more regular writing, sketching and drawing).

Stick around.

Another profile

This isn’t the most recent drawing by a long shot but I found it on my hard drive in a folder with other presentation sketches. These are drawings that I’ve done while talking to children in schools or libraries. I like this one.
