[BONUS] Library Skulls

Just had to share a few of the skulls made by the young people who came to hear me talk at the New York Public Library last week...

A few years ago the library included my book in their list of recommendations for teens and they made this awesome video...

Skull-A-Day @ SXSW

I've proposed a panel for the 2012 SXSW Interactive conference called Get Unstuck: Creative Inspiration from Skull-A-Day.

As part of the process they want feedback from the online community (which accounts for 30% of their decision-making). So I would greatly appreciate if you took a moment or two to give my proposal a thumbs up (and if you have a few more moments to spare leave a comment).

And of course if you're proposing a panel of your own let me know in a comment and I'll be happy to do the same for you!

[BONUS] Elementary Skulls

A few weeks back I had the wonderful pleasure of giving two talks at Walker Upper Elementary in Charlottesville, VA as part of the Virginia Festival of The Book. Just recently my friend Becky, who is the librarian there, handed me a packet of thank you letters written by the students! They were too great not to share...

Skull-A-Day on Tour: Skulls & Teens

I did three talks to teenagers about skulls this month!

 The first one was at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts for their Teen Symposium program. I was one of several invited artists asked to speak to about 100 students and art teachers from across the state. In addition to a lecture on the Skull-A-Day project I also led a workshop in which people were asked to do a mini-project on a subject of their choice. I loved all the creativity on display. A few people even chose skulls as their subject matter!...

The other two talks were for the New York Public Library (which included my book Skulls as part of their Stuff for The Teen Age 2009 list). The first was at a branch in the Bronx and the second at one in Manhattan. I enjoyed meeting the young people that came out and seemed to have make an impression on at least one, as evidenced in this doodle that was drawn while I was talking...

I am available to do talks/workshops in other cities, so if you know of a university, museum, or group that would be interested in bringing me out please get in touch.
