I am in Seattle! Last week though I was in Portland and my friend Yair and I took a tour of Laika the animation studio where our friend Jessica works. They are working on a new movie called The Boxtrolls which will come out in September 2014. I'm not allowed to share what we saw on the tour because it is top secret but they did put out this short trailer last week.
After the tour we walked by miles of Intel parking lots to get to the train back to Portland and along the way we picked a whole lot of blackberries. Just picked some more a few blocks from Bone House, they're getting ripe everywhere because it's been so nice everywhere up here.
I'm going back to Portland on Tuesday and then I'm going to try to make it up to near Port Townsend to visit Rebecca on the farm where she works.

Trip to Austin and Book Trailer
I went to Austin, TX last week to visit my friend Jess and to finish our new children's book. The new book will be out May 5 and is called The Ungrumblies! The 4 days I was in Austin were over real quick and we only even made it out of the house a couple times. The one fun trip we did was out to Lake Travis where it was a little cold for swimming but perfect weather for throwing rocks. The highlight of the trip was getting to meet Captain and Bones, Jess and Ray's dogs! They are real nice and always hungry.
The new book is an alphabet book about food allergies inspired by Edward Gorey's The Gashlycrumb Tinies. It is an experiment in total collaboration, we both wrote and illustrated the book, traded off sketches, colored each other's drawings and will be binding the books when Jess and Ray come to visit next weekend. We are having a release party at Mellow Pages Library on the 5th from 2 to 5.
We also made a book trailer for the book, watch it here, tell your friends!

Cleanin Up This Place
I finally got around to making the videos from my tumblr fit in the sidebar and while I was at it I made the sidebar a little bigger and a little greener. Maybe I'll do some more cleanin up in a little bit? The blog could use a new header! And maybe some colors?

New Soup
Yesterday Brendan and Jennette came over for dinner and since I'm moving at the end of the month I was trying to clean out the pantry. I found:
3 sweet potatoes
a can of coconut milk
turmeric
ginger
AND it made a delicious soup! Here is the recipe:
BILL'S ORANGE SOUP
Cut up sweet potatoes into smaller pieces, boil for 30 minutes until the skins come off easily. Put back in the pot without the water and combine with coconut milk. Mush it all up real nice and grate in as much ginger as you can. Then add 2 Tbsp of turmeric. Put some cilantro on top unless you are Lesley.
That's it! Great orange soup!
