I was lucky enough to be part of this years Empty Bowls in Perth, Ontario. My good friend (and amazing potter) Jackie Seaton used the above image for the posters and tshirts. I was thrilled to be part of it!

The Lookout. Sketchbook 2011

I always loved the Bantha's in Star Wars...like a huge shambling wig with horns.

2011-05-30T06:59:00.000-07:00

Tree of Life. I'd love to paint this. Pure chaos! It'd be awesome to see on a canvas...especially because the drawing is a bit of a mess.

2011-05-30T06:47:00.000-07:00

I've been trying to sketch on a regular basis to keep the ideas and drawing skills flowing. Here's the latest... Bonsai Mind Control

Bustin' Moves Old Skool

TreeHug

Enlightenment (too bad dinosaurs can't read)

Owl King

2011-05-30T06:38:00.000-07:00

Some recent sketchbook goodness...Oroboros
The Question?

DragonJoust (while listening to Beastie Boys new album HotSauceCommiteePartTwo. Nice!)

Owlmageddon...the owl of the apocalypse!

I had a blast working on a very short animation with my good friend, Joel Richardson.
It's called "Why I Don't Steal". I've never had a reason to try out animating before and I'm glad I finally got the chance.

2011-03-30T07:27:00.000-07:00

Okay, I've been just horrible at posting as I've been working on the latest picture book, but I couldn't pass this one up. Here's my sketchy submission to the Modok Madness blog. I figured old Modok needed a little yoda love. "Feel it you must. Feel the flow."

2010-12-19T09:38:00.000-08:00

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

2010-10-31T06:20:00.000-07:00

Some jazzed up sketchbook scribbles.

2010-10-30T17:48:00.000-07:00

I'm having a book launch for Richard was a Picker (check out the new website!) on Nov 20th at a local library and I created this poster for Kaleidoscope Kids Books that will be co-sponsoring the launch.

For the website I did up some super fun activity sheets for your downloading pleasure. I also drew a comic that you can fold, origami-like, to make your very own minibook!! On the site there's even a place to have a sneakpeek at the book. I just received my copies in the mail last week and they look fabulous!

2010-10-30T11:05:00.000-07:00

A couple of years ago I illustrated a book called What I Be with the amazingly talented musician Michael Franti. Above are a few of my favourite images from the book. The text of the book is

one of Michael's songs from his album "Everyone Deserves Music". He created a new version of the song for the book and it's on the cd that's included.

2010-08-02T06:55:00.000-07:00

The always funky and laid back Jack Johnson has an amazing version of "3 is a magic number" from the old School House Rocks. (also covered by De La Soul back in the day). enjoy. yeah.

2010-07-16T18:22:00.000-07:00

Here's the latest illustration for Kobold Quarterly. I couldn't believe they wanted me to draw a dragon on top of piles of treasure. How amazing is that???

2010-06-29T07:04:00.000-07:00

Okay folks...get ready for a nose full of fun!!!
Richard was a Picker will be released this fall.

Start stockpiling those boxes of kleenex . It's a wild and messy ride!
(and there might be some extra free downloadable goodies on the publishers website too)
I'll let you know when the party starts.

2010-05-27T12:13:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone. Well I've been insanely busy the last few months so I haven't had a chance to update the blog but one of the great things about working is that I get to listen to a lot of audio books. A fabulous listen is the latest Massey lecture by anthropologist Wade Davis. A truly mind opening talk.

2009-12-21T12:49:00.000-08:00

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
Have a blast everyone. I hope they're magical!

2009-11-30T10:28:00.000-08:00

Here’s the group photo of the authors/illustrators at the 9th Annual Kids’ Lit Gala presented by The Ottawa Children’s Literature Roundtable and the Ottawa Public Library. A very talented bunch, if I do say so myself. :)

From left to right: Ben Hodson, Paul Glennon, Vickie Cameron, Andrée Poulin, Eric Péladeau, Brenda Chapman, Kevin Bolger, Caroline Pignat, Robert Sutherland, Crystal Beshara, Michel Rene de Cotret (thanks for the photo, Michel!), and Suzanne Pinel.

(A big congratulations to Caroline Pignat for being awarded the Governor General’s Award for her amazing book!)

2009-11-28T07:31:00.000-08:00

I'm working on a picture book right now, but in the morning I like to do a bit of sketching to loosen up. I've been doing a lot of 80's influenced fantasy drawings. Above is another Kenku sketch. This one has some Russ Nicholson, Brian Froud and a little Don Bluth (The Secret of NIMH)

Here's a Dragon Rider. WAAAAY more fierce than Eragon. :)

A Deep Gnome influenced by the great Russ Nicholson in the Fiend Folio.

A Boar Rider. Snort. Wild boars and wart hogs are such amazing animals.

A Dwarf Champion ready to rumble. Some Clyde Caldwell, Larry Elmore, Jeff Easley vibes. I really like a lot of the DragonLance and Dragon Magazine artists.

2009-11-28T07:23:00.000-08:00

Orko from He-Man. I couldn't really stand this character in the cartoon, (or any sidekick except maybe Ookla from Thundarr) but I thought he looked cool. Like a Jawa wizard.

A little Berbalang action. I always loved the drawing in the Fiend Folio by Russ Nicholson. So nasty.

2009-11-06T10:39:00.000-08:00

I'm so happy that I found a groovy Keith Haring website devoted totally and completely to kids!!
That means I'll fit right in! Colouring book pages!!! YES! That's for me!

2009-10-31T07:29:00.000-07:00

This was a great show I used to watch when I was a kid. See the intro here.

And a little clip of the Wolfman here. He had a groovy radio show and they used to have these great psychedelic light shows where the Wolfman and Igor would shake their thang. Fab show!

2009-10-31T07:15:00.000-07:00

Some Count Floyd clips. Monster Chiller Horror Theater!!!! OOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

and an animated Scary Story!!

2009-10-26T07:36:00.000-07:00

Okay everybody....slide on over to see the one and only

JESSE JOSHUA WATSON

and pick up his fantastic books, I AND I, and Chess Rumble!!! Also, for an extra treat, his blog is filled with brain gems, gorgeous art and all around good vibes.

2009-10-24T10:25:00.000-07:00

Whoooohooo!!! Yipeee!
Yesterday I had so much fun visiting and giving workshops at the Rockcliffe Park Public School Literary Festival and Book Fair.
http://www.rockcliffebookfair.com/kids/wauthors.html
http://www.rockcliffebookfair.com/

We drew zombies, vampires, werewolves (or werepigs) and ghouls.

OOOOOOOOHHH!! VEEEEERY SCAAAAARY STUFF!!!

A big shout out to my Author posse, the super chief picture holders and all around cool guys, Jack and Sang Bin, who kept me on time, out of trouble and entertained for the day.

2009-10-24T10:23:00.000-07:00

I was lucky enough to be invited to the 9th annual Kids’ Lit Gala (presented by The Ottawa Children’s Literature Roundtable and the Ottawa Public Library).

A handful of authors and artists were asked to give a small presentation or reading. It was a lovely evening and I met some excellent local authors.

A special thanks to all of the wonderful Youth Ambassadors, who kept us well hydrated and well fed (with lots of cookies!), and to all of the parents who came out on a cold and rainy evening.

2009-10-15T07:44:00.000-07:00

Lately I've been really into listening to audiobooks while I work. I can download them from our library system and love the chance to catch up on books that I would otherwise not have time to read.

The latest gem that actually had me laughing until tears was Knucklehead: Tall Tales and Almost True Stories of Growing up Scieszka, by Jon Scieszka. Yes, Mr. Stinky Cheese himself tells of growing up with 5 brothers. If you grew up with the comics G.I Combat or The Haunted Tank, then you show read this book. If you didn't, you should read this book.

2009-10-13T16:53:00.001-07:00

Okay folks... a big treat today!! Some MAD Magazine flashbacks!
Captain Klutz was one of my first fav superheroes (as was the artist, Don Martin), thanks to my dad and uncles comic/Mad magazine collections. They were gold to me.

I loved the "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions" gags by Al Jaffee, but even more than that I loved his fold-ins at the back of the magazine.

You must check out this incredible NY Times tribute to Jaffee's fold outs and it actually lets you fold them in and out right on the site. His art is unbelievable!

2009-09-28T13:50:00.000-07:00

Another pen and ink redraw of an older image. Ride to live, live to ride.

2009-09-28T11:26:00.000-07:00

Some South African sketchbook goodness with a little colour added.

On a movie note...I just saw Soul Power and it was incredible! A must-see if you are even a moderate fan of soul /funk of the 70's. Check out the trailer here.

2009-09-27T12:39:00.000-07:00

Just reworking some old drawings. Without the colour the shapes jump out. I like the simplicity of it.

2009-09-27T08:47:00.000-07:00

Playing with colour using an old sketch. Thinking of painting this one. We shall see...

2009-09-23T07:34:00.000-07:00

A Ranger illustration for Kobold Quarterly. While I worked on it I listened to the audiobook The Sword in the Stone, by T.H. White. Very funny book. A classic.

2009-09-23T07:27:00.000-07:00

Two of my books are e-books! They look amazing!!! Scroll down, follow the link and enjoy.

Part of the press release is below...

From Sylvan Dell publisher and co-founder Lee German: “These are the most technologically advanced eBooks in the world today, featuring Auto-Flip, Auto-Read, and Selectable Language. There is nothing even close to this on the market. Amazon/Kindle and Barnes & Noble eBooks are not even in the same category. I encourage parents and teachers to take a test-drive and see for themselves. Let the children play with these for a few weeks, and you’ll be amazed at their excitement and improved reading performance. For children wanting to learn a foreign language or ESOL families learning English, these are phenomenal tools.”

Below is a link to a 90-day trial of all 45 Sylvan Dell eBooks:
http://www.sylvandellpublishing.com/ebooktrials.php?e=MSBL9JCode expiration date: 10/31/2009
For guided directions: http://www.sylvandellpublishing.com/documents/eBookOperatingInstructions.pdf

“Whether in Auto-Flip or Manual Mode, switch back and forth between English and Spanish text and audio (more language choices on the way) and remain on the same page,” said German. “With the addition of Auto-Flip and Auto-Read features, our Sylvan Dell eBooks are powerful literacy and language learning tools to complement our mission of teaching ‘Science and Math Through Literature.’”

2009-09-23T07:13:00.000-07:00

Heres my contribution to the Three Kisses for Tomie blog in honor of Tomie dePaola. He's celebrating his 75th birthday. I love all of his books, but Jingle, the Christmas Clown is one of my favs. For Zoe's birthday, she was given Brava, Strega Nona! pop-up book which has elaborate gorgeous mindbending pop-up pages. I've never met a Tomie book I didn't like!

2009-09-10T08:39:00.000-07:00

Some more art for the upcoming issue of Kobold Quarterly. Hobgoblins, minotaurs and bugbears, oh my!

2009-09-09T07:37:00.000-07:00

Hot off the press!! My new graphic novel is out and I'll keep you posted about the launch.
See more of it here.

2009-08-26T07:33:00.000-07:00

My little Zoe LOVES her books. In fact, she devours them. Yum!

2009-07-10T16:40:00.000-07:00

Sketches of wizardy types.

2009-07-07T09:25:00.000-07:00

One day I just started drawing these tiny muscle cars with little kids in them. I drew a bunch of them. I really like the shapes and giving them wacky names.

2009-07-07T09:22:00.000-07:00

I know, I know, the art just keeps getting scarier! I'll try to tone it down for later posts...I don't want any of you to have nightmares.

I think Thor would've been one heck of a toddler.

2009-07-06T09:42:00.000-07:00

Okay, I couldn't help but do a couple of comic strip entries for Art Order...

2009-07-06T08:44:00.000-07:00

Two entries in the Catastrophic Dragon Challenge over at Art Order.

(http://artorder.blogspot.com/)

The top image was the first entry, and again, I was too rushed to really get into the concept of the Dragon, and Jon ,the Art Director, called me on it. So I came up with the bottom image. I think it's closer, but man, it's tough to show something embodying the fury of an earthquake. Looking forward to seeing the other entries.

2009-07-06T08:36:00.000-07:00

Here's my entry into the Art Order Vampire Challenge.
(http://artorder.blogspot.com/) I was in such a rush to get it done that I messed up the size requirements. I blew it. That's what I get for rushing. Also, the detail is pretty dense for a small image. Oh well. It was fun.

2009-06-29T08:44:00.000-07:00

2009-06-29T08:28:00.000-07:00

Okay folks, I've been enjoying drawing this fantasy stuff WAAAAYYY too much. I found a great blog that posts cool challenges. (http://artorder.blogspot.com/ hosted by a VERY generous Art Director, Jon Schindehette) Above are my thoughts on the Biker Challenge. I had to listen to a little Judas Priest and one of my fav albums, Rainbow Rising, while I was working on them. Just to set the mood...

2009-06-23T08:42:00.000-07:00

KENKU FAN CLUB!
Apologies to Russ Nicholson. My sketch as fan art for his work.

Russ Nicholson's incredible Kenku drawing from the old Fiend Folio. His style is beautiful. All of his drawings in the book were fabulous.

When I was reading Tony DiTerlizzi's blog, I saw his sketch of a Kenku (see link)http://diterlizzi.com/blog/2008/04/
and I thought "That's so awesome. I'd love to draw a Kenku! They rocked." Tony DiTerlizzi also rocks.

2009-06-19T12:36:00.000-07:00

The top image is a redraw of something I did years ago and always wanted to revisit. It'd be a great painting.

2009-06-18T10:01:00.000-07:00

More sketches!!!

2009-06-18T09:58:00.000-07:00

2009-06-17T12:42:00.000-07:00

I think she may be happier if she got out of the rain. Then again, maybe not.

2009-06-17T11:55:00.000-07:00

This would be my dream house...especially if I was a leprechaun.

Your standard "I'm too cool because I'm Immortal" Elf.

I think they just load this guy into a catapult and launch him over the enemies walls. Arnie "Cannonball" Jefferson.

2009-06-17T08:16:00.000-07:00

When I was in the Himalayas I saw a Sadhu on a pilgrimage that looked about as happy as this guy. I think he'd been walking a very long time.

Rakshasa are cool.

2009-06-16T13:17:00.000-07:00

A couple more sketches. I love drawing the critters that lurk about in the backgrounds.

2009-06-16T13:11:00.000-07:00

Here are two illustrations for the next issue of Kobold Quarterly. (www.koboldquarterly.com)

I rarely get a chance to do black and white art, but I'm likin' it!

2009-06-16T07:30:00.000-07:00

This has been kicking around in my brain for years now. The rider reminds me of Sweetums from the Muppet Show. I always had a soft spot for Sweetums.

2009-06-15T08:35:00.001-07:00

I'm still digging the whole fantasy thing. More to come soon!

2009-06-04T06:24:00.000-07:00

Well, the results are in! Jeffrey and Sloth was named the Honor book at this years Chocolate Lily Awards( http://www.chocolatelilyawards.com/). The top award went to Mechanimals, by Chris Tougas. It sounds like it was great fun! I wish I could've been there.

2009-05-02T07:56:00.000-07:00

Okay folks, as promised... some sketchbook fantasy goodness!!!

2009-05-02T07:51:00.000-07:00

More fantasy sketches. Wahoo!

2009-05-02T06:38:00.000-07:00

Here are some of black and white images from the graphic novel that I just finished. The book will be in colour, but I didn't have any luck uploading the colour images, so the line art will have to do for now. The book will be coming out in the fall. I'll let you know when it gets closer to the launch date.

I had a great time participating in the Ottawa Writers Festival (http://www.writersfestival.org/). I talked to highschool students about graphic novels. Then we worked together to create a very simple 6 panel story. A good time was had by all.

As part of the Writers Festival is saw a talk by the incredible writer, Mike Carey (http://mikecarey.net/). He gave some insights into his books and writing process. Something he said that really stuck with me is that one big difference between a graphic novel and other forms of entertainment is the graphic novels' use of time. When reading it you can see the past, present and future all laid out in front of you. I'd never thought of that before. What a fascinating concept to look into.

2009-02-03T12:04:00.000-08:00

Some sketchbook pages from my most recent book. I'll be posting some more in the coming weeks. (I've got some exciting fantasy drawings to post.)

Also, some top secret information...I'm drawing a graphic novel right now (gee whiz are they ever a lot of work) and I'll give you a sneek peek at that in the coming weeks too! Stay tuned!

2009-02-03T11:58:00.000-08:00

Yipeee!!! Jeffrey and Sloth has been nominated for the 2008/2009 Chocolate Lily Award!

2009-02-03T11:48:00.000-08:00

My apologies for not updating this blog for soooooo long! I was a little preoccupied with being a dad and we were in South Africa for a few months and it's taken a while to get organized again.

Above is my most recent book illustration gig. I loved doing it and hope to do more in the future. (pssttt..Teresa..nudge, nudge)

2008-05-24T07:03:00.000-07:00

Some pics from the "Forest of Reading" awards ceremony at Harbourfront last week. Kari and I and the Sloth hanging around together. We were nominated for the Blue Spruce award and received an Honour distinction. Very amazing!!
Kari and I in the Gallery with one of my illustrations from Jeffrey and Sloth.
Kari, Sloth and I with some incredible artists!
I arrived a bit late to the activity centre and we were doodling up a storm.
One of my fave illustrators, Bill Slavin. A great guy and a mind blowing artist. It's always a treat to hang around him.

2008-05-10T10:45:00.000-07:00

I loved drawing these guys. The ogres from the board game "Ogres and Elves".

2008-05-10T10:39:00.000-07:00

These illustrations are from "Ogres and Elves". Another of the co-operative board games from Family Pastimes.

2008-05-10T10:32:00.000-07:00

Years ago I worked with a board game company near Ottawa called Family Pastimes. (http://www.familypastimes.com) I think they're the only "co-operative" board game company in North America. I illustrated a few of their games. The illustrations above are from "Hotel Ritz". I always liked these drawings.

2008-05-03T17:46:00.000-07:00

In the May issue of Mothering magazine there's a lovely little review of What I Be. (pg 87) They also used an image from the book to open the article. Very nice. AND...this issue contains a great interview with Ani Difranco. How awesome is that!?!

2008-05-03T17:34:00.000-07:00

Some veeeeery scaaaary drawings from the past. The bottom one was created using scratchboard. I love the look but it's a messy process. Little black "scratchings" flying everywhere. I should really look into it. I'd like to play around with it more sometime in the future. It's cool.

2008-04-23T19:12:00.000-07:00

Jeffrey and Sloth has been selected for the Ontario Library Association’s Canadian Materials Committee Best Bets list for children. Each year the committee selects the top ten Canadian picturebooks and Jeffrey and Sloth was one of them!

2008-04-23T18:59:00.000-07:00

Great news! 'Twas the Day Before Zoo Day has just been selected as a Book Sense Summer 2008 Children’s Pick!!

2008-04-14T17:30:00.000-07:00

At the OLA Superconference I did a short presentation at the OLA/CANSCAIP Mega-Book Launch.
It was for Jeffrey and Sloth. I wanted to talk about the story without giving too much away.
It went something like this…

2008-04-14T17:25:00.000-07:00

This is Jeffrey.

Hi there, Jeffrey.

Jeffrey is pretty stressed. He has a problem. What’s your problem, Jeffrey?

2008-04-14T17:20:00.000-07:00

You have homework? And you have to write a story? Yes, that can be pretty stressful, but there are a lot of things you can write about. Just pick something.

Oh. That is a problem. Well, you just have to be creative. What’s making it so hard to get started?

UGH. The blank piece of paper. Yuck. That is one of the biggest creative blocks I know. Who can think with all of that blankness sucking in every idea like a black hole. We’ll just have to make it a little less blank. Let’s try doodling.

Why not start by doodling a few of your favorite buildings.

And then make it a little more exciting by adding a monster and a space alien.

2008-04-14T17:13:00.000-07:00

Now just let your mind wander and go abstract. A few shapes and squiggles.

How about doodling your favorite animal… the three toed sloth?

That’s great! Um…Jeffrey, you didn’t draw the sloth with his hands on his hips. That’s strange.

Uh oh, Jeffrey. You’re doodle is moving. And the only thing worse than a doodle that moves, is a doodle that moves with attitude! Good luck with your story! I think you’re going to need it!

2008-04-13T13:33:00.000-07:00

A little ad I did for a local hipster bookshop. I could pretty much do whatever I wanted, as long as the info was there. Such fun.

2008-04-03T17:05:00.000-07:00

A few sketches from my sketchbooks.

2008-04-01T11:42:00.000-07:00

Wahoo! Jeffrey and Sloth has been nominated for the
Christie Harris Illustrated Children’s Literature Prize!
Very exciting stuff. A HUGE honour to be listed with all of the other fantastic books.

Also, see what an incredibly creative teacher, Mrs. McGowan,
in Spring Lake, NJ did for the book.
Very cool.

2008-02-28T17:51:00.000-08:00

This Saturday, I'll be launching my most recently illustrated book, 'Twas the Day Before Zoo Day. The launch will be at Kaleidoscope Kids' Books (www.kaleidoscopekidsbooks.ca) in Ottawa. We'll have a reading and then a bit of a drawing lesson. I'm thinking giraffes, elephants and gorillas. We'll see how much time we have. Should be good fun.

2008-01-29T10:37:00.000-08:00

Zoe is such a little bookworm. She found War and Peace a bit dry and long winded, but is a big fan of Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb.

At 5 weeks, Zoe already had a favorite book!

And at 8 weeks she was an avid reader!! (Alright, I'm exaggerating a little...but proud fathers are allowed to, especially when they are so sleep deprived.)

Okay, I've been very bad with keeping up with this blog lately, but I've been a bit distracted. Zoe Makaela Hodson was born on August 30. She is so adorable!!

My latest book has just been released! Yahoo! It was a joint effort with the amazing activist/musician Michael Franti (www.spearheadvibrations.com). What I Be was published under Michael's publishing company Stay Human Books and is available through his website. See more of the book at www.whatibe.org!

I was raised on The Beatles and I think they are the best band there ever was.

A little 4 panel stream of conciousness about what God dreams.

Some drawings from the new sketchbook! It's a lovely moleskine notebook with beautiful paper...seems almost a shame to spoil such nice paper, but it holds the ink so well that I can't resist!

This drawing was the last page in the sketchbook and I finished it in South Africa just before the show. A fitting end to an amazing project and since being home I've already started another sketchbook. (when I should be working!!) I'm addicted.

Some sketchbook goodies!

And yet more fun from the sketchbook!
