National Picture Book Writing Week

in support of my friend, paula yoo, establishing the first national picture book writing week, affectionately nicknamed "NaPiBoWriWee", i, ken min, will endeavor to play along.

the object is to write 7 picture books in 7 days.

it'll be tough, but i think it could be fun. (or i could be in for a load of pain! :)

the 'fun' begins may 1st and will run through the 7th.

i think what i will do is simultaneously track my progress on a daily basis during the week both here on my website as well as my facebook page.

for details and more info, and heck, if YOU want to play along, check out paula's website for the skinny:

take up the challenge. take up the gauntlet!

The View

this is the view from my window. actually, this is the view from everyone's window here in los angeles. :)

There's Nothing to be "A-Fear'd" of...part deux

 
this always happens when hunting for buried treasure. you meet a dinosaur.

UPDATE: i did some tweaking on this piece and am re-posting it.

Tribute to Caroline Hatton

i was really honored to participate in a tribute to caroline hatton- the departing editor of the local SCBWI kite tales newsletter here in los angeles.
hearing of her exploits, of how she is the deft ringmaster in juggling so many assignments and needs in the making of each issue of kite tales, it made me think of a multi-armed goddess and that became the inspiration for the illustration. i hope it goes over well with her and all who love caroline and think fondly of her.

the new issue went out yesterday online. to view a pdf copy of it, go to www.kitetales.org and click on 'current issue'.
