Appearances
and school visits
I’ll come to your school, conference, book festival or library and give a really fun presentation. Tailored to grade level, age and size of audience, this can include
all or a combination of the following:
- a reading of one or several of my books,
- a drawing demonstration, either traditionally or on my laptop via projector,
- a slide show of my career - from art school to Pixar, Nickelodeon and BlueSky studios,
- and how I create books from sketch to finished product.
I charge $750 a day for three 45 minute presentations. I'll discount $100 if books are sold.
