What a magical week I had!

Exploring the big city in so many ways. I first started my week with entering a massive structure filled with toys! The Toy Fair was inspiring in many ways, toys have come a long way since the 80’s I would say!

Oh wow I ran around the city ! I visited MOMA, The Public Library and The Society of Illustrators. And I can’t tell you how inspiring it was to spend all the time you want in a gallery sketching!

To top it all of I attended my first Society of Children’s book Writers and Illustrators Winter conference, it was beyond inspiring, I met such wonderful writers and illustrators. Learned from leading people in the industry.

And best of all I got to spend time with my amazing cousin!

I’m working a lot of fun projects! I’ll post details soon.

Amazing writer friend has a wonderful blog:

We Move With The Growth {a tree-rific gallery show}

One of my Illustration’s is part of a lovely gallery show!

Please join us.

More about the Show

"A tree is a symbol of antiquity and immense and enduring strength. A widespread symbol of the tree is the tree of life, it's body rooted in earth with its crown dancing in the sky. A tree represents a recovery from illness, ambition or wishes fulfilled, blessings of nature, good fortune, stability, shelter, and security."

The growth is below, above, and within, thus we move with the growth.

In honor of the 2013 visual artist and photographer of the year for RAW: Orange County, Andrew Pisula and Ashley Berger-Rivera, a group gallery show is curated for the first time with solely RAW OC Artists!
