Having some fun with new Characters!

One of my favorite all time artists is Bill Peet. This is one of my new characters, DUNK, based on Peet's style. I have enjoyed his approach to kid's books for many, many years. The idea of stretch and squash animation style coupled with watercolor, ink, and colored pencils lends itself to absolu

Very cool art indeed!

I just got this wonderful image from my nephew. They are studying the Chinese plates given to Washington and they created this fantastic piece for the project. Excellent job, Dean! I absolutely love it. His cousin also did some awesome artwork for me this week! Cheers! Ev

A Blog about a Blog!

Well, it has a been a week of slogging up to LA in the rain (the upside is that I got to work with some fantastic people!). It was also a concert week filled by long hours of violin practice by my 12 year old. He is actually sounding fantastic. But, I did not realize violins were quite as loud as

Rancho Canada Elementary School Visit!

The Candy Palace and I had a great visit with Rancho Canada Elementary School! The kids raised about $1700.00 for the Second Harvest Food Bank and the Kid's Cafe. The assemblies were fantastic! We drew, and played, and laughed! I even got to have lunch with the fabulous artists who won their

Caddy's Visit to Dreamworks

OK, I admit it... I am a bad dad. This should have been posted months ago. However, I am taking the better late than never approach on this blog entry. Several months ago, by the grace of my old friend Allen (an amazingly talented guy that works for Dreamworks), I took my oldest son, Caddy, to vi

Career Day TV Show

Last Wednesday, we had a crew at our house for several hours to film Ev for a tv show called "Career Day." They filmed here, because this is where his Hut and studio are. The producer and the crew were so nice, I immediately knew that this would be a fun day.

A TV Gig - Very Cool!

The hut is going to be on TV! We were at a Kid's Cafe Site in Anaheim to read, draw, and have a great time with a great group of kids. The monster came out and one of the kids thought he was a giant pinata. That was awesome! During the day, we were being filmed for B-roll footage for the nationall

Wow! Candy, Candy Everywhere!

News of Izzy and the Candy Palace is really starting to hit everywhere! Day before yesterday, we did a TV shoot for helping the food bank and a kid's LA show. This morning I woke up to hits through the OC Register, the Chicago Tribune, and a ton of blogs! Thank you all so much. This is such a gre
