my eyes stopped on the word STROOPWAFEL....yum! #kidlitchat
Mine sat for 18 months...but this time it all clicks and that's not happened before with this book. I love it as it is. #kidlitchat
exactly! by the time you see the trend on SM it is actually yesterdays meatloaf. old news! #kidlitchat
I need to get my character sheet back out, I can't remember who always has an idea! #kidlitchat
I actually printed out the manuscript I revised when I visited...Oh my goodness! I actually love it! #kidlitchat
I just dusted off a 15 year old manuscript that has been revised 467 times...and it's in rhyme. So no, I don't follow trends. I try to follow my gut the most. The 467th revision seems like it might just stick! #kidlitchat #Hoot

I love our local library! #kidlitchat
I know what you mean about feeling less in touch. I miss the days of the in-person LA SCBWI conference in the summer. Just connecting with local peeps in general is harder theses days. #kidlitchat
Great question! Of course, weekly chats with my favorite author/illustrator friend help keep me up to date on things I miss. I see alot of trends but I work to keep my style my own. I love to see what others are creating, especially lush backgrounds and new book releases! #kidlitchat
TOPIC: How and where do you keep up with the news, reviews, and people in our business? Is your work informed by what you learn - trends, gaps, what’s selling or not - or do you just like to keep current? Or… other? #kidlitchat

A middle-grade girl in a bright yellow-orange spacesuit floats in space, reaching out to greet one of several octopus-like aliens that float in space with her. Nearby is her small spaceship, and gas-giant hangs in the distance. The text on the card reads "Michael Dashow, illustrator, mdashow-kidlitart.carrd.co, repped by Vicky Weber at CMA."

A spring and Easter-themed illustration, depicting a nature scene with a green field and trees. There is an Easter bunny in the right foreground carrying a basket full of painted eggs, in front of a line of spring flowers and foliage. On the left, there is a pond with mum & baby ducklings.

Adorable and one of my favorites! I know that is YOUR style!
I think the green guy is the one who rejected my last submission...nice work!
I love the peeping eye! nice!
Great character Michael! It makes me happy to see all kids - all shapes and sizes - represented in kids books.
