Thank you to Ginny Larson, and to the other industrious and creative people who made the beautiful party and pirate hats below. Your posts were very helpful!

Video by Thacher Hurd for The San Francisco Center for the BookYou can see other illustrators (from the exhibit Once Upon a Book -- May 4 - Fri. Aug. 7) discuss their creative process here. Curated by Thacher Hurd, this is the second in a series of children's book exhibitions. This show explores the creative process in the work of six critically acclaimed illustrators: Elisa Kleven, Remy Charlip, Maira Kalman, David Macaulay, Chris Raschka and Brian Selznick.
