November challenge and event
Hi All,
The November theme for illustration on this blog is "A time to remember...". Please send me anything old or new that fits this theme!
Also, on November 13, we will be having our third sketchcrawl. We'll go to Gastown this time, to do some sketching of old buildings. We'll meet on the corner of Cambie and Water St. by the steam clock at 10:30am. From there, we'll do some walking around and sketching for about an hour to an hour and a half. From there, those of us who wish, can head to the nearby Opus Art store (207 W Hastings St) to stock up on supplies!
If it's raining, we'll postpone until November 20th. I'll send out an email to confirm. Please email me to let me know if you're attending and that way, we'll know who to wait for.
Cheers,
Shantala Robinson

My Dog Ate My Homework (And Other Excuses)
Hi All,
It's September and time to our monthly illustration challenge again!
Since kids are going back to school, we have a school-themed challenge: "My dog ate my homework (and other excuses)."
Children can come up with the craziest reasons for not doing homework... sometimes they can be real, but sometimes they involve more imagination than reality. The challenge is to depict one of these excuses. Be as inventive as a kid would, and let your imagination fly away!
Just email me the jpeg by the end of September, and I'll post it up with your name and a link to your website/blog/twitter/facebook page.
Cheers,

SCBWI Canada West Conference
Hello All,
On May 28th we had our SCBWI Canada West conference. We heard talks from a lot of informative speakers. Among them was Teresa Bubela, artistic director from Orca Book Publishers, who gave a fantastic talk especially for illustrators. Illustrators were also able to do some creative exercises which Teresa critiqued for us. All in all, it was a great conference!

Lion or Lamb?
Hi All,
Happy Spring (sort of)!
The new concept for March comes from the saying, "In like a lion, out like a lamb." It refers to the weather, but interpret it how you may!
The title is "Lion or Lamb?"
Cheers,
Shantala Robninson
