Grace Lin and I both gave a presentation on marketing oneself. We were both amazed that the students already knew so much about the 'biz.
Here's a pic of Grace and I on the hill:
And here are some pics of the ISB (Illustration Studies Building) where I spent my college days. (As did many book illustrators, like Grace, Anna Alter, Kelly Murphy, Brian Selznik David Weisner and many more.)

There's nothing better than RISD in the spring! I sure do miss the good ol' ISB. But I don't so much miss climbing that hill everyday :)
You & Ms. Lin must have a been a great combination. I remember when you spoke to my class (2006, I believe). Your talk was very motivating, especially when it came to pure, determined self-promotion--something too many illustrators are unfortunately rather bad at! We can all learn a thing or two from your dedication!
Cheers,

I wish you two had been able to visit my graduating class back in the day!
Thanks Courtney and Christina! It's always so great getting back to RISD and I love speaking to the students there. When I first got to RISD, I was pretty miserable and ready to leave. It was the alumni who would come back to speak that kept me there, and I will be eternally grateful for that!
