Below is today’s Robert’s Snow<\/a><\/strong> schedule. <\/p>\n

Today’s 2007 snowflake (pictured above) — which was not assigned to a blogger, so I’m happy to feature it here — was created by Brooklyn editorial illustrator, children’s book illustrator, designer, painter, and sculptor James T. Williamson<\/a><\/strong>, whose blog<\/a><\/strong> branches off in many directions: his work as a children’s book illustrator<\/a><\/strong> (where he talks about some of his books); his work as designer and illustrator on CD covers and posters<\/a><\/strong>; and his work as a “computer painter” at Impressionist Robot<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. Look at his post about his ’05 snowflake<\/a><\/strong>, “Vincent Van Goghflake.” The back of that snowflake is pictured here. And if you click here<\/a><\/strong> and scroll down a bit, you can see his ’04 snowflake, “Edward Hopper Snowfake, an interpretive copy of Edward Hopper’s New York Corner, 1913 with extrapolated dendrites and snow.” <\/p>\n

If you missed them, you can read yesterday’s features here<\/a><\/strong>. I learned something I didn’t know about illustration in one of yesterday’s features: In Jo Whittemore’s feature of Philomena O’Neill<\/a><\/strong>, Ms. O’Neill talks about how sometimes illustrators determine things such as page turns from a picture book text they’re given. I did not know that, and it’s one part of the writing and illustrating of a picture book I’ve always wondered about. See what fun facts you’ll gather from these Blogging for a Cure features? As someone very interested in illustration but not possessing a lick ‘o’ talent myself, I think this stuff is interesting. <\/p>\n

Don’t forget this page<\/a><\/strong> where all the features are being compiled in one spot. <\/p>\n

Here is today’s schedule: <\/p>\n
