Happy Halloween!

I've been MIA for ages now, but NOW I just had to post this.  An adorable Vampirina Ballerina named, appropriately, Ruby...  Happy Halloween!!!

Come get a book and win some art!

THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS LITTLE

3 PM Sunday, May 24^th

@ Folio Books in Noe Valley

3957 24^th Street, San Francisco

What does no-signing mean, you ask?  Just what it sounds like!  Order your books in advance, and email Uyen your dedication by May 20^th.  She’ll sign all books before you arrive, and then you can just come to pick up your book, enjoy cake, and say hi to Uyen herself!

This is also Uyen’s LAST BOOK SIGNING PARTY in San Francisco, as she and her family will be soon be leaving this Golden City, so come by to say goodbye too!  Uyen will bake a fancy cake, there’ll be cookies to nibble on, and Uyen will be drawing all evening for any kids who want sketches.

To order books, go online to  http://tiny.cc/leuyenpham

Because this is her last San Francisco signing, Uyen will be raffling THREE ORIGINAL PIECES OF ARTWORK as well!  Original watercolors from THE PRINCESS IN BLACK, VAMPIRINA BALLERINA, and MAMA SEETON’S WHISTLE will be up for grabs.

Hey all!  sorry for the mass email, but THIS IS IT!!!  We’re leaving San Francisco, and want to go out in style!  So come say goodbye… Plus, I’m raffling away ORIGINAL ART!!!  And, unlike other signings i’ve had, i’m NOT signing at this one!  Order your books in advance, email me what you want signed (include pictures if you want something sketched), and I’ll have the books ready for you to go.  Just pick them up, say hi, eat some cake, and give me a hug before we pack up and leave…

When Hillary Ran for Senate...

The latest from my drawing table, from my book on Hillary Rodham Clinton:

Butler Lecture 2015

hey all -- i'm going to be in chicago next week as the guest speaker for the 3rd annual Butler Lecture. my speech is called "wandering wonderland", and it's about growing up an immigrant in the states. not as heavy as it sounds, as it's mostly anecdotes from my very screwy childhood, and the books and teachers that pulled me through it. obviously by this illo sendak plays heavy.  if you're in the chicago area, come to the lecture if you can!

what I'm working on now...

An advance piece from my book on Hillary Clinton, written by Michelle Markel, coming out next year...
