A GREAT TIME AT THE MAD MONSTER PARTY GROUP ART SHOW and BOOK SIGNING!


What a great time this past Saturday night at the Van Eaton Gallery in Sherman Oaks, CA for the MAD MONSTER PARTY Group Art Show and Book Signing!  My pal Rick Goldschmidt was on hand signing copies of his MAD MONSTER PARTY book.  Rick is the official Historian and Author for Rankin/Bass Productions.  It was a pleasure to be included in the art show with many talented and cool artists!


Leslie and I at the show!  8^)

Rick Goldschmidt and I at the book signing table.  I've known Rick since January of 1986.  Rick and I went to school together at Columbia College Chicago.  Be sure to pick up Rick's MAD MONSTER PARTY book, and his new ENCHANTED WORLD OF RANKIN/BASS 15th Anniversary edition book coming on Thanksgiving Day 2012!  www.miserbros.com  8^)
It was nice being interviewed about my Mad Monster Party art!  8^)
