Single page for "The Moonclock"- written and illustrated by me, 1991, Scholastic. Pen and ink, 18" x 24"- That's a whole heck of a lot of cross hatching.

Single page illustration from my first author/illustrated book "The Amazing Voyage of Jackie Grace". Scholastic Inc. 1985. Water color.

Perhaps- from the perspective of what we've seen these past 15 years regarding the use of assault weapons in horrendous crimes- it is time we review what was written in the late 18th century and consider what part of their thoughts on gun ownership still apply to us today.

The sorts of weapons used by the sick individual who slaughtered so many last Friday do belong on the discount rack at Kmart.

"It is obscene that basically anyone who wants an assault weapon can simply go buy one. An assault weapon has one purpose and one purpose only: to kill people. The gun industry and their lobby, the NRA, is simply assuming that we'll be complacent...that there will be no real pressure put on our lawmakers to pass rational gun control legislation."
Marianne Williamson

We are reaping what we've sewn.

Single page for my first author/illustrated book- "The Amazing Voyage of Jackie Grace" publ. by Scholastic. Looking at the art directors comments to the printer-which I'd never noticed before. Apparently she directed the printer to alter the green/blue color on the right side of Jackie's face to make it closer to flesh tone. Jeez, that seems like a major art issue and they never shared it with me. Go figure. Water color, 1985.
