Happy New Year

It's an exciting day for SCBWI illustrators who entered the Tomie dePaola Award contest. The winner is scheduled to be announced today – our community is buzzing with anticipation. In the meantime, fellow SCBWI illustrator, Diandra Mae has been working tirelessly on a blog so that we can showcase our entries. Usually, when the winner is announced on the SCBWI site, we only get to see that entry. Artists love looking at art and Diandra's curiosity drove her to, first, take charge in getting a private group on Facebook organized, and then set up a blog for the public to see. Check it out - there are so many awesome illustrators out there!
