Lost Weekend 2012


Thank you, David!  You are the best!
(Here's Super David with Super-dog Lily.)

Last weekend, one of our SCBWI mentor David Diaz invited the Mentorship Award winners and guests over to his house for a four-day weekend in San Diego (aka Lost Weekend).  Four fabulous days with all these amazing artists?  If this were a dream, don't wake me up!



Food!  Food!  Food!  More delicious food!!!


Us discussing art and children's books.


We all shared our techniques!  Here is Debbi Ohi giving a demo.


Jen Betton Rogers wowing us with watercolor.


Andrea Offermann demoing by the warm and cozy fireplace.


David Diaz doing magic.


Us taking a leisure morning walk on the lovely beach.


Jen Betton Rogers, Lisa Anchin and I spend the last day marveling around Balboa Park before heading home.

What a blast!  Thank you, David, for such an mind-blowing and lovely weekend!  Thank you too, Rubin Pfeffer and Jen Rofé, for giving us wonderful advise!

I absolutely look forward to the next gathering~  Those of you going to the New York conference February 2013, I'll see you there! :) :) :)
