			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 184px"><a href="http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/philo-and-sophy/11705707"><img class=" " style="border: 0px initial initial;" title="PhiloSophy" src="http://www.jorgecomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/PhiloSophy.jpg" alt="PhiloSophy" width="174" height="226" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Click image above to order</p></div>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Robyn&#8217;s latest children&#8217;s book </span><strong> <a href="http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/philo-and-sophy/11705707">Philo &amp; Sophy</a> </strong> is available for sale. Written by <a href="http://www.josephulrich.com/">Joseph Ulrich</a> the book tells the story of Philo and Sophy. This two children don&#8217;t know one another but share a common yearning to answer life&#8217;s biggest questions.</p>
<p>As I mentioned in my lulu review: <em>&#8220;This is a charming insightful story that is both fun and thought provoking. As a creator I keep coming back and finding different meaning depending on what mood I may be in. The art shares the same quality as I will often come back to spot details or objects hidden in plain sight.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>You owe it to your self to check it out.</p>
<p>I did a spotlight on <a href="http://www.jorgecomics.com/2010/04/spotlight-on-philo-and-sophy/">Robyn&#8217;s work</a> for this book back in April 1st and it is recently that  she finished the last color revision on the final version. It&#8217;s a lot of work to get this things to print right I tell you.</p>

<p>Meet <a href="http://www.robyndiaz.com/">Robyn Diaz</a>, Illustrator and Video game Art Director.</p>
<p>She just finished this amazing marathon that is the illustration  the <a href="http://robyndiaz.blogspot.com/">Philo and Sophy</a> children&#8217;s book.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s 28 acrylic paintings! I was sitting right there as she was working on them and I still can&#8217;t believe it. It is just really vibrant and detailed and the colors are awesome. The process it self is not unlike comics but the painting and the color really forces you to think about the consistency of the entire book.</p>
<p>The lettering also can&#8217;t fall within the middle of the spread.</p>
<p>I am jealous of her lettering skills. There, I said it.</p>
<p>The work will be featured in tomorrows <a href="http://upstateartistsguild.org/ConTEXT">ConTEXT</a> national show at the <a href="http://upstateartistsguild.org/">Upstate Artist Guild</a> in Albany.</p>
<p><a href="http://upstateartistsguild.org/ConTEXT"><img class="alignnone" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EOq4Em9HV5s/S7OWSNpjUtI/AAAAAAAAAOk/Fr525d5vtIE/s1600/UAGpostcard_frontRGBmd.jpg" alt="" width="504" height="392" /></a></p>
<p>The story for the book was written by <a href="http://www.josephulrich.com/">Joseph Ulrich</a>. If you are an aspiring artist or are curious about the magic and challenges behind children&#8217;s books you can read all about the illustration process in<a href="http://robyndiaz.blogspot.com/"> Robyn&#8217;s Blog</a>.</p>
