Staten Island DCA Art Fund Grant

I am happy to announce that I was awarded a DCA Art Fund Grant through Staten Island Arts back in May. I will be writing and illustrating a children’s book about my hometown, Port Richmond. The story will be told through the eyes of my two dogs. The book will be fun and informative, spotlighting some iconic places in the neighborhood. My great friend John Fantini will be doing the Graphic Design for the book. I don’t know how I would have put it all together without him. Stay tuned for progress.
