Friday, April 24, 2015. How I Study Picture Books - By Maple Lam. I don't know a single colleague who does not read picture books voraciously. "Read. Read. Read." is the very basic key to all aspiring picture book author-illustrators. The other basic key is "Practice. Practice. Practice." Just like everything else in life, the rules are simple but hard to follow. Perseverance is the key; there is no short cut. :). Today, I would like to share how I study picture books. My study of " Lucky Ducklings.

http://kidlitartists.blogspot.com/2015/08/camera-action.html

At the 2014 LA conference, I had the honor of having my portfolio critiqued by editors, art directors, and fellow illustrators who let me know that I needed to push my point of view in my illustrations. "Point of view? I thought, "What does that mean? That I understood precisely what everyone had been saying. Take a look at the image below:. Push your...

Sunday, July 12, 2015. Organizing My Ideas - By Maple Lam. If you are a scatter-brain like me, your brain sprouts an idea every 35 seconds.

In my previous post How I Study Picture Books. I name this section " Concepts. And place all my early drawings here. The " Sketches" section. A section called " Dummy v.1. If my agent likes t...

Noblemania: Only known surviving note that Bill Finger wrote
http://noblemania.blogspot.com/2012/06/only-known-surviving-note-that-bill.html
Author of books for all ages, speaker, and pop culture archaeologist. Thursday, June 14, 2012. Only known surviving note that Bill Finger wrote. Much has been made (by me, anyway) about how few photos of himself Bill Finger (uncredited co-creator of Batman) left behind upon his death in 1974. Early on, I realized something that was even scarcer: Bill’s handwriting. We have plenty of Bill’s writing, of course, but almost all of it is fictional (and typed). But what would a. Note that he wrote reveal?

I Update This Site Sometimes. A Post about Biggest Things. August 20, 2016. The Horrible Old Polychrest. A couple months ago when I thought maybe, maybe if I tried really hard, I’d manage a couple blog posts a week leading up to launch time, I asked some friends what would make good topics, because I am notoriously bad at figuring out what kinds of things might be interesting to the reader who just happens to land here. Dylan Meconis. Biggest challenge of the writing (thank you, Dylan! To be a really odd...
