I’m so happy to announce that My Dog Teny was accepted into Society of Illustrator’s The Original Art: Celebrating the Fine Art of Children’s Book Illustration. The artwork below will be on display in the Museum of American Illustration at the Society of Illustrators in New York from October 26 through December 29, 2011. If you’re in NYC, check it out!

From over 500 submitted books, the jury selects about 25 percent to be in the show. It feels great to be recognized. Congratulations to the medal winners Rosalyn Schanzer, Kadir Nelson, Lane Smith, and Zachariah Ohora. Click here to see a list of all illustrators and their books that will be featured.

Previous books Little Sap and Monsieur Rodin and A Place Where Sunflowers Grow were both selected for the same exhibit back in 2007.
