Illustrator Don Tate has a new blog–Devas T: rants and raves (“Highs and lows in the life of a children’s book illustrator”). Check out his Coretta Scott King picks on the blog and then surf over to an interview at African-American Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators.

As a fellow Austinite, I have the pleasure of knowing Don personally. The man is bursting with talent and has the cutest wife and baby in the business.
