Loro Mango and Alumni Award

I am working on a picture book with Candlewick called Loro Mango. After getting my roughs approved and feedback, I'm now beginning the tight sketches. Here are some character sketches.
In other news, I'm being honored by the Academy of Art University with the Distinguished Alumni Award. I'm in disbelief and so appreciative for the Honor. Thank you to everyone at Academy. It's been my home in way or another for 8 great years.

Character Design Sketches and SF

Character Design Sketches

Litquake

I participated in Litquake this year in San Francisco. I presented Let's Go, Hugo! and Maria Had A Little Llama to 240 kids from K-2nd grade.

Also I'm delighted to announce I'll be doing a presentation and workshop at the Jewish Contemporary Museum in San Francisco next year on January 26, 2014. 

Cat Samples

I had so much fun creating these cat samples. For once, I HAD to watch adorable videos of cats. All in the name of research, of course.

Yarn

Here is a little sneak peek of the finishes from my book about Yarn (Dial 2015). I started writing this very personal story 3 years ago, and it was finally picked up this year by Dial (my same publisher from Let's Go, Hugo!) More soon.

Scholar Share and More

I just got back from Scholar Share Children's Book Festival in Sacramento where I read Let's Go, Hugo! and drew for the kids.




On a random note,  I was going through old pictures and stumbled upon a picture of my childhood dog. Before there was a Hugo or Santiago, there was a chihuahua who allowed me to put scarves on it and enjoyed eating turkey legs.

Thank you and New Sketches!

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Santiago Stays Book events at Books Inc and Tr!ckster Gallery.

I'm working on sketches and final art for two books right now. I'll be posting soon from then, but for now some recent ink drawings of Union Square.
