It’s here! It’s here! I can’t believe it’s here! My thesis film from Sheridan’s Animation Program!

After four years, it’s hard to believe that my school career is finally finished and this chapter has now come to a close. Being here has changed my life I cannot be more grateful for the experience. 

Thank you for all the support of those around me, especially my family and friends. Thank you.

Here’s to an all new adventure!

Oddbird, by Derek Desierto, (May 2021, Feiwel and Friends), $18.99, ISBN: 9781250765314 Ages 3-6 It’s a really hot day in the jungle, but all the birds at the pool wouldn’t dream of going into the water and messing up their feathers!

Publisher’s Synopsis:

“Why stick with plain old A, B, C when you can have Amelia (Earhart), Malala, Tina (Turner), Ruth (Bader Ginsburg), all the way to eXtraordinary You—and the Zillion of adventures you will go on? Instagram superstar Eva Chen, author of Juno Valentine and the Magical Shoes, is back with an alphabet board book depicting feminist icons in A Is for Awesome: 23 Iconic Women Who Changed the World, featuring spirited illustrations by Derek Desierto.”

Review: Publisher’s Weekly

“In this alphabet board book, Chen, director of fashion partnerships at Instagram, celebrates 23 women artists, scientists, activists, entertainers, authors, and other influencers. Juno, the protagonist from Chen’s picture book Juno Valentine and the Magical Shoes, makes a brief cameo to kick things off: “There’s a whole world of inspiring sheroes out there.... Here are some of my favorites!” Chen features well-known contemporary figures, including Beyoncé Knowles, Malala Yousafzai, and Oprah Winfrey, as well as those less familiar to young readers (Katharine Graham, the first female publisher of the Washington Post, and businesswoman Pat McGrath). A reflective surface on the final spread enables readers to see themselves—literally—among the broad-ranging influential figures.”

THREE PORTRAITS OF GORMEN

In June of 2012, I was lucky enough to meet three Gormen who were stranded in New York City after an accident. Unfortunately, due to the fact that they were unable to work legally in the United States, the Gormen were forced to live on the street. They faced great challenges due to their appearance, and their inferior command of the English language. In July, all three Gormen allowed me to take their photograph right before they attempted what they called “Operation Freedom.” I have since been unable to contact them and fear for the worst. I wish for nothing more than to simply share their story, and these three portraits.
