I’ll be at the West Linn Public Library reading and giving a drawing lesson on April 30th at 4:30. Here’s some more info from the local newspaper about the book and event.
As mentioned in the article, I’ll also be at Green Bean Books (yes, that’s the most appropriate name ever for a bookstore that sells this book!) on Saturday, May 4th at 2:00. Drawing lessons, creating some wanted posters for bad beans, a reading and book signing extravagnaza it will be!

I’ll be speaking, drawing, answering questions, asking questions and doing some sketching at the West Linn public library on February 4th on the topic of creating book covers. Discussing what a good book jacket design is and isn’t.
We will be doing some hands-on thumb-nailing and discussing different methods to create final art and design for a cover. The event is focused on the book, The Wizard of Earthsea. Which, as I have written about on this blog, was the book that turned me into a reader, or as much of a reader as I have become. And a few years ago I tracked down a paperback copy of The Wizard of Earthsea I remember first getting from my Jr. High library. I remembered the cover.
I’ll also bring some covers I have recently worked on (for some books yet to be released) and I’ll bring the visual history of the development of the cover for The Book That Eats People.
