Fifteen years ago today my artwork was first published for the Whole World to see!!! This illustration was made for the Freeport post office to help promote the 'Stamp Out Hunger' Food Drive of that year & printed on this local newspaper from Freeport/Baldwin, NY called 'The Leader.' I found it a few months ago when I made a trip over to my mom’s house and she ordered me to “take all those damn boxes with you.” The newspaper has been published since 1987 and there is an extensive online archive. Here's the link to the issue where my work appears: http://nyshistoricnewspapers.org/lccn/sn95071065/2001-05-10/ed-1/
