Let's get drawing!
Calling all kids! (and people that feel kid-like!)
Bring your crazy imaginations and come draw with me. I'll be at Barnes and Noble this Saturday, December 4th from 2:00-2:45. Bring paper and something to draw with and we'll come up with some wild stories together, create the characters together and then draw them together. I plan on having a rock 'em, sock 'em, fun time. I hope you can join me!

My Weird School
When they are not working the herring mines or teaching reindeer to fly the good people of Finland can now keep up with A.J. and his pals. Just one more reason I like Finland.
Another "My Weird School Daze" hits the streets
Dan Gutman and I have completed one more book in the My Weird School Daze series. I cannot promise you that Mr. Tony is full of baloney. He may also contain other meat bi-products and fillers. This will be the next to last book in the My Weird School Daze series. But we have already started books for another series- My Weirder School! And the weirdness just keeps coming...
Escape To New York - part two
My view on another crazy cab ride. Who needs lanes when we have sidewalks?
Escape To New York
The whole Paillot tribe took some time off and visited New York. During the visit I was able to have lunch with three of my favorite illustrators - Larry Ross, Zina Saunders and Mike Moran.
The Man Behind The Curtain
A big THANK YOU goes to Robert Brook Allen of www.aboyandhisdog.com for taking the lead role in getting this site up and at 'em. He not only handled the nuts and bolts of setting it up but he also did all of the nip and tuck that separates the good designers from the rest of the pack. Thanks, Robert!
A FUN SUMMER READ
Another My Weird School Daze book written by Dan Gutman has invaded your local bookstore. The weirdness never stops. Mr. Granite has been assigned a student teacher and A.J. and the gang think she might be a vampire. As if being a member of the walking undead isn't bad enough - she may also be the worst student teacher ever.
TREASURE
We are back from our summer vacation. What a great time! San Francisco was fun but our favorite souvenirs were found on the beach.
Fresh off the presses!
Secrets of a Lab Rat.
My pal, Trudi Trueit, has written book two of her "Secrets of a Lab Rat" series. Her stories and characters have just the right mix of charm and heroic, thoughtless bravado to make them a blast to illustrate. Scab — the main character — has found something in Beeson's Lake. A dinosaur? I'm not telling.
