Sean Rubin '09 is all about...mice (news item)

<p>[Rubin</a> '09 picked to illustrate next book in popular Redwall series - The Daily Princetonian](<a href=“http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/2009/05/08/23661/]Rubin”>http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/2009/05/08/23661/)</p>

<p>"While most Princeton students looking for school-year employment compete for desk jobs at Firestone Library, Sean Rubin ’09 has another job lined up — drawing mice. Rubin, who has already worked extensively with the Redwall book series, has been selected as the interior illustrator for the latest installment of Brian Jacques’ award-winning books, which have sold more than 20 million copies worldwide in 28 languages.</p>

<p>Juggling the demands of a Princeton senior with a career as a professional illustrator has been problematic for Rubin at times. “It’s very tricky telling your thesis adviser, ‘I can’t turn that in on deadline. I have to draw mice,’ ” he said. “I had a very understanding adviser.”</p>

<p>Yet Princeton has still found its way into his illustrations in addition to his Princeton models. “There should also be a bunch of Princeton-style architecture,” he said. “I sort of went out of my way to ensure that happens.”</p>
