Baghead by Juan
*SPOILER ALERT* This drawing gives away the end of Baghead, but man, isn't it great? It's by Juan and I hope he keeps drawing, he's very talented!
Do you have a note or a drawing that you'd like to share? I would love to see them!

Trailer-palooza
I just finished making YouTubable book trailers for my backlist. (All part of a major rehaul of StudioJJK.com, more on that soon!)
They will all soon be neatly organized on my website, but in the meantime, you can catch all of my trailers at YouTube.com/StudioJJK.

Sketchbook Saturday—Daddy/Daughter Edition
I brought my sketchpad to the beach hoping to make a few gesture sketches of my daughter playing in the sand. But that didn't last long. She was more interested in drawing as well!
So I just drew her while she scribbled on the pad.
Then we drew a landscape together. Ocean by Zoe. Boat by me.

Dan Santat's Lunch Lady
My author/illustrator pal Dan Santat posted this to his Facebook today. You can almost hear me saying "WHOA!" from wherever you are. (That would be a Bill and Ted "WHOA!", not a Joey Lawrence "WHOA!")
Check out Dan's rendition of Lunch Lady:

LL Gadget ideas from kids
Check out this device sent in from Chirchill Elementary in Virginia! It's a Toaster File. Secret messages get toasted into the bread and then self destruct into crumbs. I love it! Only in a suburb of DC!

October workshop on the business of children's books
In conjunction with my exhibit at the Worcester Art Museum, I will be teaching a workshop called, "The Business of Children's Books". You can register online here! Here's some info on the three hour workshop:
Join Worcester native and award-winning author/illustrator Jarrett J. Krosoczka and see the world through the eyes of a professional children's book artist. Jarrett will share his experience growing up as an artist, the rejections he faced, and the growth of his writing and illustrating process. He'll also cover the submission process and distribute a packet of handouts with tips for beginning writers and illustrators. A question and answer session will be followed by a walk through the exhibition, Monkey Boy to Lunch Lady: 10 Years of Jarrett J. Krosoczka. A graduate of Rhode Island School of Design, Jarrett has published several children's and pre-teen books including Good Night, Monkey Boy; Punk Farm; and the Lunch Lady Series.
