One of my favorite illustrators, Paul Zelinsky, addressed the School Library Journal Leadership Summit recently and talked about technology and the picture book. He demonstrated the unique techniques he used to produce the illustrations in Swamp Angel and Dust Devil both written by Anne Isaacs. Watch the video here.

To say this guy is a genius wouldn't be an understatement. Recently a fellow librarian saw a new version of Rapunzel and commented, "After Paul Zelinsky's Rapunzel, why would anyone else even bother?"
