I was just about to head to bed last night when I decided to sign on to Facebook, and see what my creative cohorts were up to. One of my friends and favorite artist buddies, Christopher Lyles, had posted about a friendly little competition to submit an author portrait for Jon Scieszka’s Facebook Fan Page. That’s right—the famous author of none other than the Stinky Cheese Man book, which is Daisy Mouse’s absolutely favorite! Here is my entry, Ambassador Cheese.
How could I resist? The prize is a box of Jon’s books, and I knew how gladly they’d be received by the mousefellows. (When Daisy babysits for her sister’s kids, this is all they ever want her to read aloud to them at bedtime.)
Who knows if Ambassador Cheese will win?—There are a lot of really fun and inventive entries (including my friend Chris’s). If you’re signed in to Facebook, you can vote for your favorite by “liking” that specific image in the contest album posted on Jon Scieszka’s Fan Page. Check it out here. (By the way, you don’t need to be signed in to see the entries, just to vote on them.)
OK, it’s past lunchtime here in Chicagoland, so I’m going to sign off and go make a stinky cheese sandwich. TGIF Everyone—Have a fun rest of the day!
