Joseph Beth Books Event
This past Saturday was a perfect day to be indoors; it was unusually cold & rainy. But inside at Joseph Beth Books in Charlotte, groups of young cartoonists were heating things up at the drawing board! Family Fun Day is an annual event at this gem of a bookstore near the Southpark Mall, and tons of parents and kids came out to enjoy the activities. I held cartooning demonstrations and signed books during the event, and in the pictures you can see some future cartoonists hard at work! Among them, to my left; were brother and sister Max and Sophie, who seemed to enjoy drawing Miles the inchworm. Their dad Steve is a talented cartoonist in his own right, and he took these pictures- thanks Steve! It was great to see Steve and meet his wife and children, if for no other reason than to verify that artists like us can actually have normal families! :) Many thanks to marketing manager Caroline Crownover, who organized the event; and to children's manager Julie Foster for bringing Hamster Sam to the shelves of Joseph Beth!
