artist (and SNB pal) Paul Wee featured in Burbank Leader



What's it like to be a working artist in animation??

In addition to being an all-around nice guy, artist Paul Wee is known for his work on The Simpsons, and for his own really cool blog. This week, he's featured in an article in The Burbank Leader, a soCal newspaper. In this article, Paul gives the perfect definition of the self-published "artist sketchbooks" that we carry. Paul was also featured in the MSBNC segment on Stuart Ng Books.

We are pleased to offer these sketchbooks by Paul. Above you can see this covers from his 2009, 2010, and 2011 sketchbooks. Here's peak inside the 2011 book:
