Today was a race to the finish. It seemed like I was right on track and then suddenly this morning I felt dreadfully behind. We worked from the beginning of the day and it seemed to be lunchtime before I knew it. I was drawing like a mad woman all day! We had a visiting artist speak as well today, Chris Houghton. He was a bit scatterbrained but very entertaining. His books are very adorable and it is hilarious to listen to the stories of how the books came about. He said that every time he starts a book he says "I'm going to do something totally different!" but then it always ends up looking the same. But he's okay with that.
After the talk he signed books and chatted with the students. And I got back to drawing and scanning and copying like a mad woman! Here's a sneak peek of what will be on the endpages. (endpages are the pages stuck to the front of the book before the title page).
