Fellow Risd Grad with great publishing advice on her website and oodles of fun drawings.

Before becoming a childrens book author illustrator he worked on Sesame Street. His discussion of simple illustration is interesting to me.

Thanks Meghan for this great resource!

As a child Janet Stevens was one of my favorite author illustrators. She came and spoke at my elementary schools library and I was in awe. She signed two books for me and I cherished them! I love her new book, "Help Me Mr. Mutt!"

For the longest time I wanted a harlequin great dane because of all the pinkerton books. Steven Kellog's work has so many little details you can look at one panel for hours and still find new hidden treasures.

Ok so maybe this is not the best use of Youtube ever but it is definitely one of the best videos ever. I want to meet Patches! I want my very own Patches!

This is the best use of youtube EVER!!!!!!
You should watch it every morning. It's super cute ridiculousness is better than coffee!

One of my favorite fellow Risd Grads... This is a great website for when you need a little inspiration.

Pavlos is a weaver of texture in all media. I have greatly enjoyed his cheerful demeanor and original creations.

David is a truly talented individual and one of the sweetest people I have ever met. He and his wife are truly gifts to the universe. In addition to being a great artist he and his wife have done amazing humanitarian work across the globe. Also they make a mean chile rellenos. :)
