Max and Pinky eCard with marshmallow game!

Definitely check out this Max and Pinky ecard that the good people at Random House put together. It's got a game where Max and Pinky have to gather as many marshmallows as they can before the critters all take them away. What could be more fun than that! I'm having a hard time thinking of anything...

Enjoy!

I'm waiting for snow.

Interview time!


Hey!
Darla D over at Books & Other Thoughts just posted an interview with me in a multi multi blog effort to promote the 2007 Robert's Snow: for Cancer's Cure benefit (I just linked to the interview four times in one sentence).

So check it out, and be sure to check out all of the other illustrator interviews listed at Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast.

And take a look at all them snowflakes!

Many thanks to Darla D!

Your bud,
Maxwell

Local Press

Hey you!
Thought I'd post a couple of nice shots from my local paper, The Lake Placid News. First one is an article written by my bud, Ed Forbes, about my recent trip to Nueva York.


Look at that passion!
And the second piece is an ad placed by the beloved (that's right, beloved) Bookstore Plus.
Are they the best, or are they the best? Two choices. One answer.*





*The answer is B.

The Great Children's Read

For those of you who weren't able to attend the NY Times Great Children's Read this past weekend at Columbia University (you know who you are), here's a snappy (a picture) courtesy of Ed Forbes.

Blah, blah, blah.

The Great Children's Read!

The New York Times Great Children's Read Presented by Target (got that memorized?) is next Sunday, October 14th at Columbia University in ol' New York City. And guess who's going to be there reading on the Target stage... well, Julie Andrews Edwards (Mary Poppins) and Cheech Marin (nevermind, kids). But I'll be in there somewhere (4:45 actually) reading The Adventures of Max and Pinky: Best Buds and Superheroes. Afterwards I'll be signing books until 6:00 when a driver will grab me, throw me in a big black Lincoln and bring me to the airport where he'll then shove me into any plane headed north. The event will be fun and free. Fun and fancy free in fact!
Hope to see you there!

Your bud,
Maxwell

PS- The geese are heading south. Hope your skis are all waxed up.


SUPERHEROES out in less than a week!


Hey y'all (y'all?), The Adventures of Max and Pinky: Superheroes is out in less than a week! Next Tuesday, actually. October 9th. Year 2007. It's coming right up!

Pinky grows legs...


These were the final sketch versions of Pinky with legs, sent to my editor, Cecile, for approval before starting in on BEST BUDS.

Another early Max and Pinky sketch


This is probably the second or third sketch I ever did of Max and Pinky. As you can see by the ruled journal paper, I used to draw em small. Real small. Still no legs on Pinky at this point.
