Yippee Skippy! I won an award!

Hi there creative friends! 

Last weekend I was delighted to attend SCBWI SanFrancisco's Illustration Intensive. It was absolutely brilliant!  (A big thanks to the SCBWI-SF South Team!)

 I was able to listen to Dan Santat, David Caplan and Kristine Brogno inspire us illustrators on how to approach our craft.  It was a lovely day and I am still digesting all the knowledge that was imparted by these industry giants. And I'm pleased to say that I won an Honorable Mention at the Illustrator Portfolio Showcase!

Promo Power

Pssst. Hey you. Guess what? I just won 'Best Promo' at the SCBWI-CenCal Artworks this last Saturday. 

Here's the mailer I created:

Kristine Brogno, Design Director from Chronicle Books and artist/writer Salina Yoon were the guest speakers. I'm still trying to digest everything. It was a pretty fab little conference. There were a lot of talented illustrators there too, so I was delighted to win. 

(There were tons of other fabulous postcards I didn't snag... because I was eating all the strawberries. Shhh!)

Anyway, thought I'd share. (Squee!) :)
