Hi Everyone, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My new book Lint Boy is coming out in June of this year, WOOHOO! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More on that later.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While thinking of a possible website for my book, I realized that my personal site was in dire need of a serious update first. After much research and agonizing, I decided to use Wordpress to redesign the new website. Lint Boy will have it's own section there. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, that means that my blog is moving over there too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really appreciate you Peeps reading my blog posts here over the years, and I hope you will continue to do so in <a href="http://aleijten.com/blog/">the new location</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you Blogger, you are easy to use and have been very reliable, but it's time for us to part ways now. I wish you all the best.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

As a lover of plant dyes, I think it's so cool<br />
that this pen writes with wine, soy sauce spinach juice, food coloring, etc.<br />
All the dyes you can come up with. You can make you own colors, try out new<br />
stuff, have fun. I backed their Kickstarter campaign a whole while ago, and I<br />
have been waiting for the pen to be sent to me for too long. But it looks like that<br />
wait will be over soon.<br />
Check out this movie they just sent out.<br />

Hi Peeps,<br />
<br />
My favorite singer, composer, and musician friend, <a href="http://moxymusic.net/" target="_blank">Pam Aronoff, and her partner Jim Watts</a>, just finished a really cool Music Video.</div>
<div>
Their band is called Rebel Alien, and the song, Politricks (The World Is Going Insane).</div>
<div>
They worked with some great people; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/StevenHanftFlims" target="_blank">Steve Hanft</a> animated the video, Bunny Saint Martin composited it.<br />
<br />
The song is fun, the lyrics great, and the animation is refreshingly loose and spontaneous.</div>
<div>
Check it out! </div>

Now that I am done with the paintings for Lint Boy, I am taking some time every day to work through a section of the mountain of email that has piled up over that last 6 months. Not my favorite thing to do, but it has to be done.</div>
<div>
Once in a while I come across a little light point. Here is one of those fun surprises.</div>
<div id="fb-root">

We just finished up a Waldorf doll making workshop at the <a href="http://www.wswaldorf.org/" target="_blank">Westside Waldorf School</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was the first doll making workshop I led, and it was a very pleasant experience.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The people who chose to make dolls with me were wonderful, <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/aileenleijten/sets/72157627861709557/" target="_blank">the dolls they created</a>, lovely. It's so rewarding to create beautiful things together with other people.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I definitely want to repeat the experience next year.</div>

I met Johanna quite a few years ago at the R<a href="http://www.renegadecraft.com/about" target="_blank">enegade Craft Fair </a>in Brooklyn. She had a table full of magical little paintings, and I immediately fell in love with her work. </span><br />

<i><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b></i>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am (and have been for a while,) working on a big graphic novel project called Lint Boy. <a href="http://www.clarionpublishing.com/" target="_blank">(Clarion 2016)</a>. I'm excited to be working on a book for ages 9-12, It gives me more freedom to make the story and characters darker, with a pinch of wicked. </span><br />

<i><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b></i>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm not sure what other peoples processes are like, so it's hard to say how mine differs. I love to work in different media, try different papers, paints, crafts, work with wool and fibers, learn new skills, take classes, and spend hours in my studio making things. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So far, for each of my books I have worked in a different way. Lint Boy will be water color with inked lines, not unlike the process for <a href="http://www.aleijten.com/HuggingHour/HuggingHour.html" target="_blank">Hugging Hour</a>, but it has a very different look. <a href="http://www.aleijten.com/BellaandBean/BellaandBean.html" target="_blank">Bella & Bean</a>, I drew on paper, scanned and painted digitally, and <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/city-hall-susan-bloom/1112161050?ean=9781931290241" target="_blank">City Hall</a>, I painted with acrylics.

<b><i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Why do I write what I write?</span></i></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My stories mostly evolve from characters. The characters in turn are born from doodles, sketches, or dolls I make. In the case of Lint Boy, the character and story idea came about when I was making one of my first dolls. I was surprised how much stuffing it took to fill a small fabric creature. I was looking around for stuffing material when the dryer chimed it's done signal. A full load of bath towels creates a whole bunch of lint, problem solved. My little guy was going to be stuffed with lint and named Lint Boy, all kinds of images and scenes exploded in my brain. I'm also inspired by settings, locations, and objects I like to draw.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<i><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">How does my individual Writing and Illustration process work?</span></b></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">While I'm sketching characters, or making them out of fibers, ideas for stories grow in my mind. I go with the flow, sleep on it, before I start writing. I write a couple of hours a day, until the story has it's first solid form, then put it away for minimum a week, while I work on something else. I need to do this to get some perspective and to see what I wrote with a more critical eye. Then, that process repeats itself while I rewrite and revise. The story has to be close to finished before I start drawing again. I have learned my lesson the hard way. If I start drawing too soon, I tend to get attached to certain images, I then try to incorporate those into the story, often at a cost.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As for my illustration process. I first do a thorough study of each character, sketching front back and side views, plus expressions and emotions, I also write down a little background story for them, to understand their motivations better. After I'm satisfied with all the characters, </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I sketch out the story in large thumbnails. Then, I go page per page and refine the sketches. I sometimes scan the drawing into photoshop to work on the layout. Finally, I do the finished drawing on the appropriate (water color) paper. I always scan the final drawing before I paint, so I can do color studies in photoshop. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Then, over a couple of days I make the water color painting.</span><br />

And, I understand. I am always curious myself when I see someone drawing on the subway or on the street. Sketchbooks are where the raw ideas are born.<br />
<br />
Today I'll be sharing the fist of a random page from my current dirty smudgy sketchbook.<br />

I was very excited to be invited to illustrate the cover of the SCBWI Bulletin. The painting is on this months publication, which just arrived in the mail today. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the painting.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As I mentioned in the interview (one always accompanies the cover design), I often scan my illustration before I start the watercolor painting. I use the scan of the illustration to do a detailed digital color study. Once in a while it may occur that I like the study better than the watercolor painting itself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The watercolor painting made it as the final this time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I included the digital study below.</div>
