SKETCHES of
FAMOUS AUTHORS
and famous illustrators
OF CHILDREN'S BOOKS

I attend lots of author-illustrator sessions
and booksignings, sketching while they talk.
Here are my sketches and some of their words.

Disclaimer:
These were done quickly, with a pen (no eraser for mistakes).
Nobody looks good in a 60-second sketch.
