Last week, the internationally-renowned and award-winning children's book illustrator Jason O'Malley graced us with a visit. The last time Jason saw Iain, we still referred to him affectionately as Ziggy the Zygote, so a trip to the West Coast was long overdue. Jason began his California adventure with a book signing in Palm Springs for the hot-off-the-press and hilarious WOOF! A Gay Man's Guide to Dogs. Athough Jason is incredibly talented, Iain still took it upon himself to instruct Jason in the nuances of mark-making and the crayon as an often overlooked expressive medium. I sense a creative collaboration in the future.
