I'm wild. Lucky for me California beaches and mountains in the 1970s were a wild too! Because I have so much energy, words were very hard for me at first. Newspaper comics SAVED me from illiteracy with a LOT of help from my MOM! I attended Calarts Character Animation program 1990, made some dirty festival films, then worked production for near 30 years starting at Hanna Barbara in 1994. I am SO lucky to have lived paper and film days through the sunset years of a genius genre. I love BOOKS and STORIES, color, paint, ink, film, surfing, food, dogs, yoga, music, and all kinds of PEOPLE! We all have our own story.
A picture is worth a thousand words, TRUE! A good story get better every time it's retold. The more we tell them the more we know HOW it goes. Telling a great one is an ART! A PERFECT GIFT! It requires a revolution of rehearsals. NO JOKE! - jokes demand seasoning. Pictures help, LOTS! You can HEAR a good picture, like words they SPEAK all languages without a sound. In telling stories (and jokes) for a living with drawings I grew to adore and collect them. They are REAL THINGS. Books are friends. My doodling and (eventually) reading grew into drawing and writing titles of my own for the book hungry comic collecting page turning present world at large.
NOW books are more fundamental to our collective wellbeing than ever before. We NEED STORIES! THEY ARE MEDICINE!
As individuals our IDEAS are what we make of them. In the same way in the end we become what we BELIEVE ourselves to be capable of being. Our thoughts commit us to one story until we learn to OPEN our MIND to a new idea.
WE AUTHOR OUR OWN LIFE's STORY!
INFO is POWER! METAMORPHOSIS!
HAPPY EVER AFTER! As a reader who struggled and fought for one word,
I always thought,
"How could I ever be a writer when it took me SO LONG
to learn to LOVE BOOKS???"
DUH! HAHA ! I was overlooking my LOVE after it blossomed in me.
"If I can do it, SO CAN YOU!" is the most important story a young reader struggling in the world today needs to hear! IT IS WAR IN WORDS!
IT'S HEALHTY TO ASK FOR HELP! A HEALTHY imagination answers the HARDEST questions we can ask, but we ALL need HELP to GROW. I want to grab minds and eyes with PICTURES and WORDS! I want to encourage CREATIVE PARTICIPATION to inspire RECREATING
the IDEA of one's own SELF WORTH!
Let's print BOOKS who's pages turn minds ON and change book HATERS into
WORD CHOMPING BOOKWORMS!!!
