Michigan Event with Brian Froud and Charles Vess
Dr. Ari Berk, author extraordinaire, professor of mythology and folklore at Central Michigan University (and all around funny guy), has organized a conference at the university campus which is open to both students and the general public.
Imagining the Fantastic will take place on April 15th & 16th and will include presentations, conversations and book-signings by all guests including Brian & Wendy Froud, Charles Vess and yours truly (among others great talents).
The event is FREE to attend. You can check out the schedule on the University’s site. I’ll be presenting the origins and creation process that went into The Search for WondLa as well as participating in a panel discussing breaking into children’s book publishing. Afterwards I’ll be signing any and everything you bring. I’ll seeya next week!

That is really cool! You really get to travel, Tony
Oh, and, thanks for the letter that you sent me on the fifth of April to WA. I got it after school and I loved it, thank you so much
Hi Tony,
Sandy
I am so very excited that you will be coming to Michigan. I thought I would never get the chance to meet you. I live in Ohio, but this event is so close that we will be able to attend. My Daughter Sammy and myself have been reading and collecting your books. Your illustrations are such an inspiration to everyone, I guess you could say that your artwork is the seed to help imaginations grow.
Well, if anything they have helped me for I am an aspiring childrens illustrator and my Daughter, she wants to be a writer and illustrator when she grows up. So we are both very honored to get the chance to hear about your work from you in person.
So we will see you in Michigan!!
I look forward to meeting you, Sandy, and your daughter as well. Safe travels.
wow, that is so cool….
Very awesome! Wish we could go.. but Oregon is a bit far from Michigan.
