I'm a Mormon, Yes I am!

On Saturday when I was at Seagull book there was an author sitting next to me, Janeen Brady. She was there to sign her new book called The Creation. Depending on your age, you may or may not recognize who she is at first. For anyone who grew up listening to that classic red cassette tape entitled "I"m a Mormon", she wrote that. As well as all those Standing Tall tapes, about Happiness and Gratitude and Captain Dependable. Anyone else have fond memories of singing to that stuff as a kid? It was like I was meeting a celebrity. She also did the Safety Kid stuff. My childhood would not have been the same without her.

Invincible

In case you were thinking of renting Iron Man and you see it at redbox, make sure it is just called Iron Man and not Invincible Iron Man, because it's not the same thing. But if you have a 5 year old in the house, it might be okay anyways.

Me being pro

I'm feeling really cool as an illustrator this week. Not only do I get to do the book signing stuff, but a cute little 12 year old is job shadowing me on Wednesday. I just know I'm going to bore her trying to tell her way too much about fun things like contracts and stretching paper.

Am I famous yet?

I feel like having a book signing means I am one step closer to being famous. I've got a ways to go, but I like the direction of things. I just got a call from Cedar Fort, who I have worked for on a few projects, and they want me to do a couple of book signings at Seagull Book. There are two on September 27th, first from 10-12 in Orem and then from 12:30-2:00 in American Fork. And another one on the 26th at the Women's Expo from 11-1. I'm trying to think if I need to do anything to prepare? Practice my signature? Read the book again? Get a haircut?

Bunny boy

Calvin tried out a new toy, and it seems to be a hit.

Foot method

Another way we like to see how much Calvin has grown is to compare him to Brandon's foot.

This is Calvin expressing how he feels about BYU football this year. Go Cougs!
