Thanks Learning Lamp!

I had a great time at the Learning Lamp Children’s Book Festival in Johnstown, PA! Thanks everyone who came by to say hi, share artwork and collaborate in the drawing games! It was especially cool, getting to hang out with authors, Greg Pizzoli, Zachariah OHora, & Mark Weakland! I left feeling super inspired to get to work on some new books!

Gaithersburg Book Fest Photos

As expected, Raina & I had an amazing time at Gaithersburg Book Festival!

I even appear briefly in this video about the festival…

Our drawing games had a great turn out with super creative volunteers!

Thanks to everyone who came by to get their books signed and share anecdotes about reading and drawing with us!

I also got to share the stage with my good friend, Ben Hate (creator of Zita the Spacegirl) for some fun talk about space heroes.

And of course you can’t get two cartoonists on stage without some competitive drawing!

PODCAST INTERVIEW

Dave — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 01:35:55 +0000

I’m super excited to share this interview I did with author/illustrator, Katie Davis on her fantastic podcast, Brain Burps About Books!

Be a Space Cadet with Graphic Novels! Interview with Dave Roman

We talk about Astronaut Academy, Teen Boat, how art school can make you afraid to draw, proposing through comics, and tons of other fun stuff! My favorite part is just hearing someone else (besides me!) describe and read scenes from Astronaut Academy! I also created a downloadable Doug Hiro comic strip that will debut on her Brain Burps newsletter, so be sure to subscribe!

Katie’s blog and podcasts have been super helpful to me these past few weeks leading up to my big book release. I highly recommend it to all creative people looking to learn more about the world of books for kids! It’s impossible to not be inspired by all the cool stuff Katie does!
