On the drawing board...

The Methow Cycle Wolf Awards

Some quick awards that I whipped up for my U6 soccer team. Go Wolves!

Digital Detritus

In geologic terms, detritus is a rubbing away, a fragmentation - as in rock dust. I've been cleaning up - dusting if you will - my office of late, and came across some excellent detritus of my own.

As my only venture into digitally produced artwork (Adobe Illustrator vector drawings) these samples from the Seattle Public Libary Summer Reading Program c. 2004 seemed like a fun post.

Enjoy!

Picture Book People Politicing!

This week, the mud will fly. For a much less nasty version of politics 2008, here are two very excellent sites:

Picture Book People for Obama

Authors & Illustrators for Children

That pretty much tips my hand, but if there is any year for making a personal opinion public... this is it! Get out and vote!

A pat on the blog...

Thanks Jeff! I think...? I've never been singled out like this before (along with six other folks no less) but I'll take the bait.

To wit, here's my nod o' love love to some blogs as well - in no particular order:

No 1. Phil's Good Photo a Day
N0 2. Fox in Socks
N0 3. Planet Ham
No 4. Solidarity*
No 5. Dantat
No 6. Philip Dunn - Olympic Racewalker
No 7. Blue Rose Girls

*Not always kid friendly... not awful though.

PS While"love" is a strong word, I do find each of these blogs to be pretty cool, entertaining, or otherwise informative and/or at times inspiring :)

According to the official rules, as passed on and quoted from the faceless but seemingly affable Mr. Newman, those listed above should:

1) Add the logo of the award to your blog
2) Add a link to the person who awarded it to you
3) Nominate at least seven other blogs
4) Add links to those blogs on your blog
5) Leave a message for your nominees on their blogs

If you want to. No pressure. But Really. Thanks!
