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,
Shantala Robinson

June Theme: Picnic
The nights are long, the temperature is edging upwards, and people are emerging from their homes to bask in the sunshine... it's almost summer!
So, our theme for June is ... "Picnic".
Have fun and take this one wherever your imagination goes!

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!
