He introduced himself as Bailey. I’m not sure if that was his first name or his last, just Bailey. I caught him in a couple of photographs at the New York SCBWI Conference at the Hyatt this year. Here he is listening to Jed Bennett from Penguin, Deb Shapiro from Deb Shapiro & Company and Michelle Fadlalla the director of Education and Library Marketing, from Simon & Schuster. I figured he was an illustrator because he was in the illusrator intensive and he had a nice array of brushes in his back pocket. Pat Cummings was the panel director for the discussion on “Reaching the Picture Book Audience”. Bailey seemed to be fascinated by the topic.
