August, September, October 2017

In August, I worked on a SCBWI-IL writer's retreat, "Words in the Woods" held at East Bay Camp near Bloomington, IL. My responsibility was decor, design, bonfire, party and writing activities.

Designed the logo for Words in the Woods.

Most of the attendees posed on the steps for a photo.
Me, Alice and Anastasia posing at the Kid Lit Costume Party.

In September, I concentrated on making a pb dummy for Dani Duck's Dummy Challenge. Not every picturebook I write fits my style but this one did.
Character Sketches: Jackalope
One page of the dummy.
One finished illustration.



In October, I designed the booth for SCBWI-IL to promote author and illustrators latest books and school visits. We exhibited at IRC (Illinois Reading Council) and ISLMA (Illinois School Librarians and Media Association) conventions.
The display board features 2017 releases. (It was IRC's 50th anniversary so we gilltered it up!)
