Here is the first attempt my Traveler series. I've been playing around with painting on road maps, mainly because I love maps, and the texture and color of the old road maps are really great to work on top of. It's acrylic & pastel on a map mounted on a board.

Anne Frank's Chestnut Tree
My latest book has just arrived from Random House, and it looks great.
Anne Frank's Chestnut Tree is a Step-Into-Reading book, written by Jane Kohuth.
Based on Anne Frank's diary and it "explores Anne's strong belief in the healing power of nature..."
Available from Amazon in hardcover and also in paperback (but the hardcover is really pretty.)

One Ton of Fun


The exhibit was magnificent, overwhelming, amazing and joyous. The walls of the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art in NYC. were plastered floor to ceiling with original artwork by Maurice Sendak, Charles Addams, R. Crumb, Dr. Seuss, Winsor McCay, Roz Chast and over 200 more artists, including me and many of my colleagues at the School of Visual Arts.
Keith and the NeoIntegrity team pulled off a herculean job of putting this exhibit together– and fitting it into the space. Artwork hung floor to ceiling, edge to edge, wrapped around corners and down the sides of tables. And now it has all been stuffed into this book. These are three (of the four) of my pieces included in the book. It is a treasure trove. Check out NeoIntegrity HERE.
