My Mini-interviews and Giveaway week start tomorrow. For the giveaway, I have a 12"x12" original illustration on canvas. You can see more images and learn more about the blogtour here.

 A series of weekly Mini-Interviews are starting November 1st. Four children’s illustrators, four blogs, four posts per week, four weeks full of questions, answers and giveaways. We close the series with a Big Giveaway with something from all of us to celebrate your Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah and Viva Kwanzaa all together.

We are starting Tuesdays on Juana's Blog. Molly Idle is in charge of the questions onWednesdays. Mikela Prevost takes the keyboard on Thursdays. Fridays we are on Laura Jacobsen‘s land. At the end on Mondays, we’ll have Giveaway winners that will have to answer to no one and will still get prizes. 

Confused? I don’t blame you so follow the Post Trail here.

I have just posted a Call to Hispanic and Latino Picturebook Artists whose main focus of work is Multicultural Illustration. We are starting a group with two main objectives, one is to create a critique group that understands the Hispanic culture and the other is to network with like-minded Hispanics and Latinos in the field. If you are interested in participating in the group, you will find more information here: http://juanamartinezneal.com/blog/random-thoughts/call-to-multicultural-pb-artists/   I look forward to hearing from you!
