I've been surrounded by various tasks. The picture book, two chapter books, my graphic novel, and the house addition. I normally make up the work late at night when everyone is asleep, but, a little someone has been teething and I am exhausted...
On top of all that finding a stable work environment has been rather difficult as well. Behold the current state of my studio....
The carpet has been removed, all my supplies have been boxed up, and I'm in the process of making my studio look like a garage (look at the horrid state of that concrete floor)
Meanwhile for the Memorial Day weekend I was up in San Francisco spending time with family. I also got together with author Mac Barnett (author of OH NO!)
We got together for a photo shoot for the book jacket and I shot some video of him for a future book trailer for the book. We got together for lunch and then afterwards he took me to the "Pirate Store"...
I've wanted to see this store for years. One reason in particular was to see the amazing mural created by Chris Ware which interprets the history of the written word. That and the fact that I've wanted to purchase some pirate attire...
Mac and I then parted ways, but not before he gave me this sweet "Evil Robot Memory Eraser" from the Time Travel Mart in Echo Park, CA
A magnet... CLEVER!
That's a top-quality baby you've got there.
Mac's okay, too.

Oh, we feel your pain! Aurora just got a couple of good molars, and now all the inbetween teeth are coming in. Not my favorite thing about having a baby.
