Sadly, I've just learned of Uri Shulevitz passing.

I had the honour of meeting this great man many, many years ago. He provided me with some sage advice: Buy his book (Writing With Pictures) and read it!

I did and it was invaluable.

He also signed this for me 🙂 :

Sad news.

He also wrote "Writing with Pictures," still an essential resource for picture book creators.
Caldecott Medalist Uri Shulevitz, widely celebrated for his distinctive ink and watercolor images and stories often drawn from his evocative childhood memories, died on February 15, two weeks short of his 90th birthday. Read our tribute:

I saw this train a' rollin' and I just...caught...the caboose!

Wouldn't dream of leaving the sky but as an artmakerperson, how could I resist a really fun place for artmakerpersons?

Super busy with life 🙄 so just a quick one today; a character's costume that needed to be worked out...a bodysuit with a fluorescent sheen, no less!

(Also, please do not disturb the dog!)
