This is probably going to be of the most interest to those of you who have an interest in comic book inking in general. Paul Karasik, who is the head of programming for Comic Arts Brooklyn, interviewed Jeff Smith while he (the creator of the Bone graphic novel series) inked a Bone illustration for the […]
Took me a couple minutes to get into this one, but once I remembered the premise it helped. This is basically The Wizard of Oz redone with pop songs. A lot of which, sad to say, I have never heard of. Fortunately I could at least recognize the weird genius of the line, “You’re just […]
All right. Me stuff off the bat. I was recently asked to moderate a panel of authors for the Children’s Media Association. The panel consisted of Ame Dyckman, Joanne Levy, Katherine Longshore, Elisa Ludwig, Lynda Mullaly Hunt, and Sarvenaz Tash. During the course of the evening it was suggested that we perform a Giant Dance […]
It is my supreme pleasure and honor today to present to you a little video that you shan’t find much of anywhere else. Many of you are aware that Aaron Becker’s debut picture book Journey is getting a lot of critical acclaim and book buzz. What you may not know is that back in 2011 […]
The exciting news this week was that I got to host a couple panels regarding Banned Books (it being the week of ’em and all). The first was at the Brooklyn Book Festival with David Levithan, Francesca Lia Block, and Lauren Myracle. I then cannibalized my own questions and used them in this, a Google+ […]
I forget how many years ago it was, but in the not so distant past (I’m going to go out on a limb and say it was 2009) I had the pleasure of hosting children’s author and storyteller Carman Agra Deedy in my Children’s Center. Talk about a storyteller! She will hold you riveted from […]
A conservative estimate would say that around seven people sent me this particular video this week. A hat tip to every last person who set out to alert then. I wasn’t necessarily going to make a Video Sunday this week, but after watching this I just couldn’t pass this up. The editing, man, the editing!! […]
We’re a bit booktrailer top heavy this week, but after you see some of the beauties I’ve got lined up I don’t think you’ll mind. Heck, if nothing else this first one will convince you: Why there is not a national alert to tell us when Dan Santat has created a new book trailer, I’ll […]
Normally I don’t ascribe much in a way of topics to my Video Sundays. They have a tendency to be a haphazard blending of whatever happens to catch my eye in a given week and saved links from peculiar sources. However, after a conversation with fellow blogger Gregory K about book trailers I realized that […]
How do, folks. Well, as you might have heard, this past ALA Caldecott/Newbery/Wilder Banquet saw me interviewing hoards of famous people alongside the multi-talented Jim Averbeck and partner-in-crime Kristin Clark. Those videos have now all appeared online at a single solitary location: Kidlit Red Carpet. It is very unfortunate that my interview with Laura Rodgers […]
