Links: Jillian Tamaki, Luke Pearson Win Major Awards

November 20, 2014 by Brigid Alverson   Leave a Comment

The British Comic Awards were announced over the weekend, and the winner in the children’s category was Luke Pearson’s Hilda and the Black Hound.

Another winner: Jillian Tamaki has received the Canadian Governor General’s Award for Children’s Illustration for This One Summer, which was written by her cousin, Mariko Tamaki.

John Patrick Green is all over the place this week, following the announcement of his new book, Hippopotamister. Here’s a fast five-question interview at the First Second blog, and Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast has a cartoon interview with two of his characters, Red Panda and Hippopotamister.

Sarah Varon catches up our SLJ colleague Travis Jonker on her works in progress for First Second.

Here’s a look at Raina Telgemeier’s teeth!
