ARTIST PROFILE

This has been a remarkable year for me so far...First off, at the end of 2006, I attended the KORET BOOK AWARDS in San Francisco, where SHLEMIEL CROOKS was named a Finalist in the Juvenile Fiction section. What a city.
Early in 2007 I completed the inside illustrations for another book published by NEWSOUTH.
Next, VICKIPRENTICEASSOCIATES,INC. invited me to join their group of artists. (See CONTACT section for more info.)
Then it was time to proceed to the 2007 VIRGINIA SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL poster (See HOME) This is the fifth year I've been privileged to work with this group.
Author Anna Olswanger invited me to attend BEA (BOOKEXPOAMERICA) with her, held this past July, 2007, in New York. We hand-pulled prints of two simple SHLEMIEL CROOKS linocuts at the NEWSOUTH booth at BEA, while Anna spoke about aspects of the writer-artist collaboration. Then we jointly signed pre-printed limited editions as guest "giveaways"... NAIBA invited us to repeat our demonstration this October 15...
And in late January, 2008 (exact date to be announced) four pieces from "Crooks" will be part of a group show highlighting currrent Jewish illustrations at Temple Judea Museum in Elkins Park, outside Philadelphia.
Meantime, it's time to start on the sixth annual Shakespeare poster...The program for 2008 includes Othello and The Taming of the Shrew.
