Artwork by Diane Salter Diane Salter
Diane and I began our collaboration with The Boy and the Pearl, and had so much fun that we have several more projects in the works. She is an amazing and versatile illustrator, equally adept at painting and drawing on paper as well as in a digital environment. Please take a look at her beautiful work.

A Time Before Me by Michael Holloway Perronne Michael Perronne
Michael's first novel, A Time Before Me, about a young gay man coming of age in the South, was published in early 2005. It is a touching and thought-provoking book, bringing to life characters and ideas to which ALL of us can relate. He recently released his second novel, the Hollywood potboiler, Starstruck, and is hard at work on the sequel to A Time Before Me.

Geronimo Quitoriano, Photographer Photography by Geronimo
Geronimo is a fabulous and quirky photographer working in the Los Angeles area. He is extremely versatile, creating images of everything from events and newsworthy happenings to portraits and artistic shots - and he's loads of fun as well. Check out his wonderful website!

Still Life with Crows Preston/Child
Check out the website of my two favorite authors, Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. Even better, go read their books!

Rattie Ratz Rescue, Resource and Referral Rattie Ratz
Okay, so not everyone likes rats. But people who don't like rats have usually never met a pet rat before. They make charming and delightful companions. They're much smarter and more affectionate and social than other pet rodents. If you live in the Silicon Valley area and want to take orphaned rats into your home, the non-profit Rattie Ratz is the best.

Kelly Kilmer - Stop the Wall Kelly Kilmer
Kelly Kilmer is my absolute favorite art teacher in the whole wide world! Her classes are a blast and her own work is gorgeous. She is based in Los Angeles, but teaches all over the country - check the schedule on her website.

Baubo Roars Baubo Roars
This gorgeous site features a startling array of ladylike media subverted, including crocheted tampons and various body parts. No matter how you feel about the artwork, you're invited to join in the discussion.

Big Box Mart
Check out Jib Jab's latest animated short, Big Box Mart. Why, you ask? Because my tiny little head appears in scenes 27 and 28. I'm barely noticeable to the naked eye, but this is clearly the beginning of my path to fame.

BABA BABA
Bay Area Book Artists is a terrific organization for bookmakers in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Art Dreams by Vickie Enkoff, Cover art by Diane Salter Vickie Enkoff
Vickie Enkoff's website harbors a wealth of information on artists, zines, art stores, techniques, etc., not to mention her own delicious line of rubber stamps. Vickie also recently completed the wonderful book, Art Dreams, about making a living as an artist (with my friend Diane Salter's beautiful art on the cover)!
