Look for my short story “The Mystery of the Magic Lunch Bag” in the March 2008 issue of Highlights For Children.

You can find my poem “Hockey Team” in the hardcover poetry collection I Hope I Don’t Strike Out, edited by Bruce Lansky. The book is a collection of funny sports poems.

My poem “The Perfect Sport” appeared in the book Wild World of Sports, by Adele Samuel, last spring. This book is part of the Boldprint line put out by Rubicon Publishing in Canada.

I also had a short feature published in Madkids last August, entitled “Remy’s Rhyming Guide To Food,” which was a parody based on the popular movie Ratatouille.

 

CARTOONING WORKSHOPS

I teach cartooning workshops to children in several school districts around metro Detroit, including Bloomfield Hills, West Bloomfield, Birmingham, Farmington, Walled Lake, Clarkston, Troy, Lake Orion, Warren, South Lyon, Plymouth-Canton, Brighton, and other areas. My workshops are usually held after school and are generally for kids in elementary school. Students with no experience can learn how to draw cool cartoons in just one day!

So far over 80,000 students have enrolled in my workshops!
