Thank you so much for all your nice comments! It is my honor to be invited to be featured at the writers community place like Litpark. I have been reading some of the older articles and there are some fascinating stories for sure. I really have to thank Susan for finding me out of no where to give me this opportunity to meet your people! Anyhow, --Xujun Yes, it was when I first came to the States 15 years ago when no one could pronounce my name correctly and someone started calling me Dice. Now with the Red Sox pitcher Daisuke(Dice-K) Matsuzaka, lots of people learned to pronounce my name correctly! --Oronte thank you --James thank you so much --Betsy Thank you. hope you can check out Out of Picture 2 too when it comes out in June. --Robin Thank you. Yeah, the sketchtravel thing really took on life. now there are several sketchbooks started by other groups of artists ---Brian yes, we hadn't talked for a while until you contacted me when you saw Susan's blog! everyone, Brian was my boss on Ice Age movie and he taught me so much. I was still a start up young artist hungry for good training. Brian is an incredible artist who now focuses no writing. Wow. ---Lance Thank you!! --Carolyn Wow. that is amazing. What made you pick Japan as one culture in particular you decided to expose your kids more to? It's so nice to hear when people find the culture of Japan so interesting. I think so too but you know, there are tons of others just as interesting. --Jessica Thank you. I am conscious of keeping up with my old classical approach when I do my current work. Feel free to jump on to "digital or traditional" discussion on my blog --Kate Thank you. Wow. Sounds like you have quite a deep understanding of animated films! I'm glad whenever i hear kids get into some of the films I worked on. That's so rewarding. I am at Pixar now and it's nice to see how they make movies. A little different from how we made Ice Age at Blue Sky. Very story oriented which is why Pixar movies are always great. And please! Try your graphic novel! I think there's a great amount of potential with this medium. Almost a half way between children's book and a novel. I hope more people do it. You can always learn drawing as you go. :) ---Darryl Great to hear this article helped. I would love to look into what writes would do with picture. I know you hire an artist to do it but sitll, it'd be interesting to see how you were visualizing while writing and how your illustrator can translate that. anyhow, thank you so much everyone! dice Hi everyone!

Truly great. Susan, thanks for exposing this artist at The Park... Which reminds me of a story about a stalker at a park... Damn uncomfortable synapses... You know what I mean, Susan? I won't go see Betsy read. I don't like her. She sets the bar too high. This is swell stuff. Truly great. Susan, thanks for exposing this artist at The Park…
