Hello!
I'm happy to announce that my first illustrated and written children's book, Watch Out For Wolfgang has finally hit the shelves. Five years ago I started drafting out the story,it's hard to believe it's here. "Spring of '09" sounded like a time so far in the future that it might never come. Good thing I was wrong!
This coming Saturday (Feb 14th), I will be at Porter Square Books in Cambridge Mass from 10AM-12PM to sign copies and read Wolfgang. I don't think I've ever read my writing in public outside of English class, so this will be a new experience for me. I'll be joined by several other children's book creators, so if you'll be in the area please come by! More details here.

Just last Friday I hung 9 original children's book illustrations for viewing and sale at Harvard Street Dental just outside Central Square in Cambridge, Mass. Currently hanging are pieces from my first three books: Mothers Are Like That; Dinosaur Parents, Dinosaur Young and The Polar Bears Are Hungry. If you're in the area, please come take a look... no dental exams necessary! Many thanks to Dr. Foley for giving me this opportunity to share my art with the public, he's been very supportive.
Looking to the future, I will be having a full show for art from Wolfgang and other books on April 5th at Featherstone Center for the Arts on Martha's Vineyard. There's something especially nice and poetic about having my first children's book art show where I spent much of my own childhood. I'm very excited about this!
Speaking of shows, the Lovecraftian paintings I had in the Switzerland show have returned with a nice surprise... they were also shown in France! If you can read French (or have a good translator), take a look: Festival "les Utopiales" in Nantes, France It appears to be a Science Fiction convention.
Now that the originals are back, I am considering releasing a fine art print of one or more of the images. If anyone has interest or a vote, I'd lovce to know what people would like to see. I think Azathoth is a good candidate.
Last, but far from least, I have begun a new batch of Cthulhu statues. The red version received a lot of nice feedback, so I am going to do the green equivalent, more of a realistic depiction as described in the story. I have a good feeling about this one!
Untill the next update....

Congrats on all the good stuff coming your way. You are certainly a deserving git.
Is it ironic that there is free art viewing in a dentist office, or does the art have to be orky?
