I built houses,landscapes, and cities almost like I was playing with Legos or blocks. (So much fun.) I think I came away with a few new concepts, but I never felt like his teachings became a crutch.<BR/>(Very cool blog you have by the way!)Kirk D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05700097965524197825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24558766.post-35640868620810873972007-12-01T00:13:00.000-06:002007-12-01T00:13:00.000-06:00i wish i'd seen this when i was a kid or atleast b...i wish i'd seen this when i was a kid or atleast before halloween! i just saw him listed as one of s.britt's favorites + on childen's illustration blog too. i'm going to get some of these books for my 4 year old daughter (but i'm leary of influencing her style-she's very creative)mod*momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17072518787342325987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24558766.post-90331474074094268262007-10-16T10:26:00.000-05:002007-10-16T10:26:00.000-05:00Thanks for the info Steve.

I'm definitely looking forward to using this book with my son too.<BR/><BR/>rozum- I'll be eagerly waiting to see your official Emberly store display.<BR/><BR/>Good call flashfink. I'd love to see all those little figures spring to life (and fight each other of course)<BR/><BR/>M. maniac- there's something very satisfying about drawing from these books. mainly because each drawing goes extremely fast and your drawing usually looks exactly like his.Kirk D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05700097965524197825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24558766.post-39873953429939832422007-10-15T23:20:00.000-05:002007-10-15T23:20:00.000-05:00This is the first I've heard of him.
