I think it's the hair.

It's really excellent. This drawing isn't really meant to be Bod, or a scene from the book, but it's definitely inspired by some of the emotions conjured by reading it. ]]> http://www.jeremytankard.com/2010/#000290 http://www.jeremytankard.com/2010/#000290 sketches Sun, 07 Feb 2010 20:29:40 -0500 Where did this blue flower come from? http://www.jeremytankard.com/2010/#000289 http://www.jeremytankard.com/2010/#000289 sketches Fri, 22 Jan 2010 10:29:10 -0500 Here's a link to a new Grumpy Bird review. It's a little one, but good one. And, interestingly, these Bird fans are teachers at international schools. Hooray!

This one from Sal's Fiction Addiction blog. It's short and sweet but she's nicely nailed what the book is all about.

Anyway, I wanted to share this photo with you. Lisa Hough, a teacher at Bridlewood Elementary School, baked these amazing Bird shaped cakes. She runs a little business called Markham Cakes and Sweets. Check it out. Pretty amazing, yes? So if you're in the greater Toronto area and you're looking for an excellent cake baker/decorator... highly recommended. ]]> http://www.jeremytankard.com/2010/#000284 http://www.jeremytankard.com/2010/#000284 personal bird blue spruce award Boo hoo bird Markham Cakes and Sweets Fri, 15 Jan 2010 09:39:32 -0500 Here's a link to another Boo Hoo Bird review. This one made me laugh because the reviewer's daughter isn't a big fan of the book. In fact she quite dislikes it at the moment. Hopefully she'll come round. Still, I enjoyed the review. It's nice to have people discussing my books. ]]> http://www.jeremytankard.com/2010/#000286 http://www.jeremytankard.com/2010/#000286 reviews boo hoo bird discussing reading with review zadie Tue, 12 Jan 2010 11:49:26 -0500 Not exactly mind-blowing but hey, they can't all be gems. Feels like a good one to start another year of sketches. http://www.jeremytankard.com/2010/#000285 http://www.jeremytankard.com/2010/#000285 sketches Tue, 12 Jan 2010 11:28:54 -0500 ME HUNGRY! in board book form. I'm really excited about this as I think the smaller format will really suit the book. ME HUNGRY! was largely inspired by two of my all time favourite board books: Jez Alborough's beautiful HUG and Peggy Rathman's lovely Goodnight Gorilla. Chris Raschka's Yo! Yes? (although not a board book) was also a big inspiration. I have high hopes that the board book will be widely available and will find a permanent home in this format. Huge thanks must be given to Candlewick for the decision to make this book available in the smaller format. Anyway, I hope your 2010 is full of marvelous good times and much happiness. ]]> http://www.jeremytankard.com/2010/#000283 http://www.jeremytankard.com/2010/#000283 personal board book chris raschka christmas goodnight gorilla hanukkah happy new year hug jez alborough kwanzaa ME HUNGRY peggy rathman yo yes Wed, 06 Jan 2010 09:52:12 -0500 One last picture for 2009.

The photo in the background is old, taken on a digital camera that was one its last legs. However it has a quality that I really enjoy -- all those thin lines from the old image sensor as it was deteriorating. Neat. http://www.jeremytankard.com/2009/#000281 http://www.jeremytankard.com/2009/#000281 sketches Tue, 22 Dec 2009 21:51:57 -0500
