My family and I just returned from a 10-day summer trip and we're right back in the thick of things on this fine Thursday afternoon.
I just mailed off several framed Dog Diaries pics for a September/October show at the Morris Graves Museum of Art, in Eureka, CA. These images will be shown in conjunction with the Humbolt County Author Festival, and I couldn't be happier about this return trip to northern California.
To top it off, I just learned that David Diaz is going to be there! I met David briefly at last winters' SCBWI NYC Conference, but was a little too shy (as usual) to really make his acquaintance. I'm totally cool when it comes to meeting kids, teachers, librarians etc., but put me in a room full of incredible authors n' illustrators and I shrink: "The agony!" To wit, since so many other fine folks are attending the Humbolt shindig as well, I promise to get out of my shell and make the most of it.
Signing off, I'll leave you with a proof of the Spring 2010 Cat Diaries cover. I've shown the cat image before, but the design is really coming together...
The drawing table awaits!

And we have a winnah! Nice work Phil, now point me towards the best possible international shipping address :)
Erik, your work here is stunning/gorgeous as usual. Congrats on your new book and continuing success! P.S. I would feel the same way too around other author/illustrators - they're probably intimidated by you as well, how about that for a catch 22? Guess we'll all never meet each other haha. :0)
