Been A While...again

2018 marked 35 years for me as a professional freelance illustrator and artist.  During that time I've created art for many books, 80+, including some for Scholastic, Inc.  They have also acquired some of my books for their book club.  Always had great experience with the art directors and editors there.  Here's a look at my Scholastic books from their website.

You can still find these books on the secondary market on amazon.com , barnesandnoble.com  other and  other sites  as well.

School Visits

I've begun my school visits for the new school year and have been to some wonderful places thus far in New York and Philadelphia. My program "A Day In The Life Odf A Book" is always well received by students and teachers alike.  In fact, teachers often get more excited about it than the students.  They have the chance to get inside the book illustration process and see original work.  I'm including a link here to a video which tells a bit about my school program and workshops so you can get a better idea of what I do.  My program  meets Arts-In-Education standards in an interesting and entertaining way and brings visual art to places that often have cut classes due to budget constraints.  My visit inspires young students to work for what they want and do their best!
