My good friend John Aaron will be back in town and coordinating efforts here in DC. He’ll be setting up at the Warehouse on Saturday September 15th. Please check the Chalk for Peace website – www.chalk4peace.org for more information. That’s also the same day and just around the corner from Arts on Foot.

“OUR STREETS ‘R OUR MEDIA -WE have TOTAL access”

The pavements are an untapped media resource through which we ordinary peace loving folk can share our messages, hopes, dreams, ideas and create a new momentum towards peace – at a certain point there is critical mass in the cultural conversation which transforms into ACTION

Mission Possible – “Our World Working For ALL of Us”

Under the Slimy Sea is another book I illustrated this past spring. I received my complimentary copies in the mail yesterday, and it looks great! It was a really fun project to work on. I finished this one, as well as the 2 books in the previous post, in just a couple months. It was crazy.

The book is now available on Amazon.com. And here’s the description from the Bathroom Reader website:

Uncle John’s Under the Slimy Sea Bathroom Reader For Kids Only

It’s a whole other world down here!

Join Uncle John as he takes you on an undersea voyage through the mysteries of the deep. You’ll encounter amazing photographs of unbelievable creatures, plus funny drawings, disgusting facts, bizarre stories, and some really fishy jokes. So strap on your SCUBA gear and read about…

• Turtle Traffic Jams
• Great Balls of Snot
• Surfin’ Snails
• The Schoolboy Sailor
• Globsters
• Speed Shark
• Rubber Duckies Overboard!
• …and loads more!

Here are a few of my favorite illustrations from the project:

The two books I illustrated this past spring are up on Amazon.com. The first is Flour Girl, a companion book to The Ring Bear, which came out a few years back.

The other is Ned Loses His Head, the first of a series of Ned books. Both were written by David Michael Slater. You can learn more about David and see all the books he’s written on his website.

Here’s a sample of Ned:

And here’s one from the Ring Bear. More of my illustrations for children are on my other website.

The show came down last week, and we were able to get a few more shots of everyone before it was all over.
