Jahffie's BEAST FOR FREE!

Hey I know it's been a while, but I have been on my grind creatively and also doing my Art History teaching thang. I've written another children's book and searching for representation / publication. It is a really cool and funny story about a little boy name Jahffie (this is still a working name) who has recently acquired a "BEAST" and the events that unfold from it. It's sort of a cautionary tale with a lesson. Jahffie is a character that I've been developing that will appear in future stories. He is a quirky, curious, creative, imaginative little dude who tells wild stories about his adventures and leaves you wondering if some of his stories are fact or fiction. At any case they are all entertaining! Here is the artwork I created for the cover. I still have a few pages to illustrate.

MY STORY IS WORTH BEING TOLD TOO!

Here is an article that was given to me by a friend just published in The NY Times about the lack of children of color being represented in the children's book market or even the general book market as a whole. Publishers, literary agents and even bookstores talk a very good game of equality, but their actions don't say the same. We (meaning everyone; black, white, asian, latino, indian, etc.) have to fight for stories being told from all perspectives, because that brings awareness, understanding and ultimately connection with each other as a human race. It starts with the children! Click the link below and let's make change!
