Included is a video clip of my handling a rare two-headed milk snake that will be included in Snakes! Long, Longer, Longest. This is part of a 20 minute movie I show describing my work and how I create it. I even fall off a dock and "swim" with a Great White shark!

I am available for Conferences, Teacher Workshops, Young Author Fairs and School and Library Visits. I discuss all the stages of creating a picture book, from initial sketches, researching, illustrating with traditional media and using a digital tablet, through design and production. And, of course, what it's like working with the wonderful Jerry Pallotta! I have an informative and colorful PowerPoint Presentation which includes a digital tablet demonstration. Cost is $800.00 a day.

Also available:

Small classroom workshops featuring hands-on production of a booklet of students' own work are available. Up to 15 students per workshop, workshop length is approximately 3 hours. Students should have worked on a story with basic illustrations ahead of time. Special care will be taken to help students design pages and develop finished illustrations.

I bring all the computer equipment to produce their booklets in your classroom. An extra $75 per workshop is required to cover the cost of inks and paper.
