A few weeks ago I had the honor of attending BEA2010 (no not the BEA happening this week) which was part of the 2010NAB conference. I was there to celebrate the launch of the BBC College of Journalism Website (COJO) a collaboration between OUP and the BBC. The site allows citizens outside of the UK access to the online learning and development materials created for BBC journalists. It is a vast resource filled to the brim with videos, audio clips, discussion pages, interactive modules and text pages covering every aspect of TV, radio, and online journalism. At the conference I had a chance to talk with Kevin Marsh, the Executive Editor of COJO, and I will be sharing clips from our conversation for the next few weeks. To start us off I have posted a clip which emphasizes the value of truth in journalism. Read Kevin’s blog here.

For those of you who know my art you know that pattern is ever-present in nearly everything I draw or paint. I was going to show all of the past images that I did on patterned paper, but I chose instead to show two paintings I did with cloud patterns. One is in the west and one is here on the east coast.
I loved the rolling golden hills of California with the clouds and trees casting shadow patterns in subtle shades of blue and violet.
Now that I'm back in Rhode Island I get to see the change of seasons again. I love the marshes here, each with their own signifcant pattern. As the temperatures fall the grasses change color just as the leaves on the trees would.

Back in Manila, when I was about 13 years old, I used to have a crush on my mom's boss' son. He was about 17 years old and was soooo cute. His name was Marsh. I used to die just looking at him, especially during that time when the long board shorts (with large flower prints) were the coolest thing :) He was just so refreshing to look at :)

It’s Canadian Children’s Book Week. A week of bookish celebration. And it’s not limited to people within Canada; it would be lovely if other people also pick up a Canadian children’s book and read it. There are some fantastic Canadian children’s authors (and books). Here are a few of my favorites (though there are many more). If you haven’t read them, I suggest you pick yourself up a copy:
| Picture Books | |
  |
Imagine a Day by Sarah L. Thomson, illustrated by Rob Gonsalves |
  |
Oliver Has Something to Say! by Pamela Edwards, illustrated by Louis Pilon |
  |
Chester by Melanie Watt |
| Middle Grade Books | |
  |
From Anna by Jean Little |
  |
Julie by Cora Taylor |
  |
Jacob Two-Two Meets the Hooded Fang by Mordecai Richler |
| YA/Teen Books | |
  |
True Confessions of a Heartless Girl by Martha Brooks |
  |
Adam and Eve and Pinch-Me by Julie Johnston |
  |
The Watcher (The Watcher’s Quest) by Margaret Buffie |
Tough City Writer has some beautiful, inspiring wishes for the week (or year) that she hopes you will do, including:
Wish #1: Go to your bookshelf (or your kids’) and dust off a Canadian classic you’ve been wanting to re-read. You know, Jacob Two-Two, Jelly Belly, even Anne of Green Gables would make me happy. (I know, I know, “classic” is subjective. Make your own criteria and go for it.)
Wish #2: Send book from Wish #1 to a child you love. Or even one you don’t love, or even one you don’t know. Tell them, “Hey, a Canadian wrote this book, ya know? And I think you might just like it.”
Wish #3: Find a Canadian author or illustrator you have never heard of and check out their bio and their books. The Canadian Children’s Book Centre, The Canadian Society of Children’s Authors, Illustrators and Performers (CANSCAIP), and, in BC, the Children’s Writers and Illustrators of BC (CWILL-BC), have wonderful links to Canadian authors and illustrators.
Want to read the rest of her wishes, and those from visitors? Check out the post on her blog.
The wish that I would add is would be that people post a blurb, review, or interview about a Canadian children’s author or illustrator or one of their books that they love. Help get the word out about good Canadian children’s fiction. And it doesn’t have to be this week. It can be any time throughout the year.
Thank you to BookLust for the link.

One never knows the treasures to be found around the next corner...What lovely photos...what a lovely day...:)
Aww. That is indeed very cute.
What a fat and friendly, companionable little fellow. There is something so unrelentingly charming about stocky little ponies. He's a sweetie. Definitely scores 100.
I think the nice thing about living in RI is that the state is small but diverse and so easy to explore. I hope I get to visit there someday.
