At the tip top of a stone house, under ancient elm trees, next to a monastery, down the hill from a park, deep in the suburbs of
Philadelphia
, this illustrator spent his youth. Still longing for the safety of that attic, he retreats to a windowless closet to produce these small works of genius. When you add up three years spent in a hammock on a mountainside of
Guatemala
, another six in the saddle of his superbly striped racing bike, and sundry administrative tasks, you begin to wonder just how he fits it all in-and stays so young. Luckily he enjoys a broad spectrum of support from such diverse parties as the Warren Machine Company, AIDS research groups in
Uganda
, and the emerging Landscape Architects Union. His cartoon menagerie has populated publications around the globe and continues to expand. We expect great things.
