more bonnie March 19, 2011

I've been a little out of the blog loop lately, busy working on Bonnie O' Boy paintings, and feeling really relieved and happy about how things are moving along. Super duper, actually. 

 

Gabe has been a secret champion...cheering me on every step of the way, swooping in with kind comments at just the right moment, and holding our household together so seamlessly when I'm off in painty Johanna world, that he deserves three thousand high fives. Well, not really. That actually sounds pretty cruel.

 

Here's some more book news....

 

1. I'm going to be illustrating the new Clover Twig book, Clover Twig and the Perilous Path, by Kaye Umansky! Just started on the sketches. Very fun to be revisiting these characters. Wilf!

 

2. My dear agent of four years, James Proimos, has decided to stop being an agent, so he can focus on all kinds of brilliant un-agenty things. He is loved and will be missed. I can't wait to see what new projects he has up his sleeve.

 

3. I'm lucky enough to have just signed with the fabulous Rosemary Stimola, of Stimola Literary Studio. Rosemary represents all kinds of amazing children's book writers and illustrators. I'm incredibly excited to be included.

 

4. My new book, Orchestra Pit  has an official release date! It's really going to happen! So thrilled. It will be coming out in Fall 2013, with Rabbits On Skates, in Winter 2013.  WOW.

 

5. Bandits is coming August, 2011. Hooray!! Book trailer coming soon....

 

Alright, back to painty world...
