Fifteen illustrators will reach out to their favorite books and create wonderful pieces of art in response to the text that has moved them, shaped them, or excited them. From sci-fi to children’s books to fantasy to serious novels, we’ll cover them all. For three weeks out of every month there will be a new illustration every day from one of us along with our thoughts, process, anything we can come up with. Together we will try to excite readers both new and old and capture some of that magic of storytelling.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:100%;color:#414141;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 19px;font-size:12px;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:100%;color:#414141;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 19px;font-size:12px;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#414141;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 19px;font-size:-webkit-xxx-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); line-height: normal; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:16px;"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gFOoKsOXs6s/S6zVEpV9LpI/AAAAAAAAAI0/rhAR_zJ-Qfo/s400/basilef03.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452967524632964754" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 294px; " /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:100%;color:#414141;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 19px;font-size:12px;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#414141;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Fun to look at, read, and remember!</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:100%;color:#414141;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 19px;font-size:12px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5432591112304580781-4712625408740614470?l=corellasketchbook.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>donna mckenziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06851000716867992217noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432591112304580781.post-59807629355175370792010-03-24T06:13:00.000-07:002010-03-24T12:26:10.916-07:00<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gFOoKsOXs6s/S6oQb5OeQBI/AAAAAAAAAIc/tkAjkJtD0Sg/s1600/henryinspace.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gFOoKsOXs6s/S6oQb5OeQBI/AAAAAAAAAIc/tkAjkJtD0Sg/s400/henryinspace.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452188370289442834" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">I am the featured 'Shop of the Day' at <a href="http://www.papernstitch.com/">papernstitch</a> !!</div><div style="text-align: center;">My Basset Hound print is right at the top!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Isn't he sweet!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I am also featured in the <a href="http://papernstitchblog.com/">papernstitch blog</a>!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Do check me out!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gFOoKsOXs6s/S6pmamalVJI/AAAAAAAAAIs/9U0CcHubUKs/s1600/4303280883_cd55a9d674_o.jpg"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gFOoKsOXs6s/S6pmamalVJI/AAAAAAAAAIs/9U0CcHubUKs/s400/4303280883_cd55a9d674_o.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452282906060084370" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 129px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; ">I love doing many things.
