In my TE:348 section I had did my midterm on a book illustrated by Kadir Nelson. I was very intrigued by his artistic style. I later came across a brochure informing me about a seminar put on by Kadir Nelson"

We are the Ship: The Story of Negro League Baseball
Kadir Nelson attributes his early success as an artist to lessons learned from his mother—to visualize his success and then practice for it. A poster in his high school math class, “Wish upon a star but do your homework, too,” affirmed and encouraged him. Hear Nelson describe how he made his dreams a reality and hear the stories behind his stunning illustrated history, We Are the Ship: The Story of Negro League Baseball .
This takes place in my neighborhood in Kalamazoo. I plan on attending. If you are interested in going you can e-mail for more information or directions.
Also:
On Friday at Western Michigan University he is holding a seminar where there will be a review of his recently illustrated books. Registration is required and begins at 8:00 am. The program is from 9:00 am- 4:00 pm at WMU's Fetzer Center
I also plan on attending this event. Please contact me, our course instructor, or consult the Kalamazoo Public Library website.
