Spotlight on Tomie dePaola

If Brita Can Draw Sheep, You Can, Too!

Brita is a "mature" woman who lives in Sweden. Tomie met Brita and her daughter, Anne Marie, last summer. Brita recently visited Anne Marie at Anne Marie's nearby mountaintop home. Tomie entertained Brita for dinner on her last night in the US, and taught her how to make sheep. Here are some of the sheep she drew at home in Sweden.

You, too, can learn how to draw sheep in "Tomie Live in Concert," available in VHS videotape and DVD formats from Morgan Hill Bookstore (603-526-5850).

Artist v. Wildebeest: The Video (Tomie Said, "Done! Done! Stick a Fork in Me, I'm Done!")

Better Than a Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, or Milli Vanilli Concert!

No lip-synching! No body double! No beard! This is the REAL Tomie dePaola in 1999 in front of 500 children and adults at the Dana Center on the campus of Saint Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire.

Tomie interacts with the audience, talks about childhood experiences, reads TOM and STREGA NONA, gives an art lesson, shows how he draws "Strega Nona," gives instructions on how to do a GENUINE Italian kiss... all in 65 minutes.

"Tomie Live in Concert" is available in VHS videotape and DVD from Morgan Hill Bookstore in New London, New Hampshire. 603-526-5850
