Barnaby Volume One: 1942-1943 In 2013, Fantagraphics published Barnaby Volume One: 1942-1943, which I co-edited with Eric Reynolds. It's the first of a 5-volume series that will collect all of Barnaby in its original run (1942-1952). Daniel Clowes designed the book, and it features essays from Chris Ware, Jeet Heer, Dorothy Parker, and me. My blog has yet more information about the Biography, Crockett Johnson, Ruth Krauss, and Barnaby.
Books About Fine Art Archives I am passionate about art, and I believe that if our kids can tell Dora from Diego they can tell Picasso from Matisse. So even if like me you are in a small town without easy access to masterpieces you can share it with your children through books. These picture books about art are a great way to expose your kids to famous works of art , the lives of artists and even to a little geography all without having to leave your house. If you want to channel these famous artists and make some of your own versions of their masterpieces check out 15 Fine Art Projects For Kids. Touch the Art: Brush Mona Lisa’s Hair
Jason Fry I’m the author of The Jupiter Pirates space-fantasy saga for young adults, published by HarperCollins. The series begins with The Jupiter Pirates: Hunt for the Hydra, then continues with Curse of the Iris. The third novel, The Rise of Earth, is on the way … with more to come. The Jupiter Pirates is part high-seas adventure and part space-age epic — a saga about a solar system on the brink of war and one family caught in the middle of it. I was born on June 11, 1945 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I grew up in a family of 9 kids. At least, that is where I lived when I was young. My mother says I never grew up and still act like I was 6 years old. She may be right, but I figure that I act like a very mature 6 year old. When I was 12 my older brother kicked me in the mouth the day after I got my braces off.
