The New Blog on the Block

Just opened :  The 4RV Reading, Writing & Art Blog.

Check out the daily posts for some great insights, wonderful book news, art tips and tricks and the viewpoints of a number of talented authors and illustrators.  Each visit promises to be of interest to those who love to read, write and draw...and those who do all three.

Add your voice in the comments section or make this a place you want to follow.  I will be adding illustration themed articles twice a month and invite you to chime in with your thoughts.

More to SMILE about

We have something to SMILE about. All the new articles and postings on the Picture Bookies Blog. If you list Blogs to Follow, you might want to add this one to your following. The artists who contribute to this blog are all members of the Picture Bookies, a group of professional illustrator/authors dedicated to enriching the lives of children and adults through words and pictures.
With thanks to Sherry Rogers we have brightened up our blog with a new banner which will change "spots" from time to time.
Interesting articles, words to the wise, hints for productivity in an ever changing economic climate and just great art await you at the Picture Bookies Blog.

Who's your Favorite Illustrator?

The Picture Bookies began a discussion a few days ago about the illustrators they admire, or who have influenced their work.
Head on over and check out their favorites, leave a comment with your own list of favorites. I wonder how many of us will name the same illustrators.

The topic is worth checking out because links are provided to the artists and illustrators mentioned. Who knows you just might find a new favorite.
