| * Sessions: Usually my presentations last around an hour for each session and focus on creating illustrations to go with stories. Maximum of 4 sessions a day.
* Books: I explain how books are put together from the blank page to the printed book, sharing rough layouts, first sketches, how type & art relate. I share ideas for books that students might make.
* Art: I do drawing demonstrations of simple art techniques that can help anyone to draw better. I show how a book begins from rough sketches and progresses to a finished dummy. I talk about developing characters and how the editorial process works to come up with the final book.
* Computers: I also cover various technical and computer related aspects of making digital artwork.
* Locations: My school visits usually are limited to schools in the nearby Seattle area. Exceptions are always possible.
