Ok, here’s Storytime Print #6. This is based on a photo of my son when he was a tween reading graphic novels for hours, getting all the way into them, and inspiring of love of them in me too. If you’d like to get a copy of this print for your classroom, library, reading nook, or office.

This is a new illustration I created for use in places where children are. Its to promote the gospel of reading great books whether they be picture books, comics, novels, or magazines. The kids are mean to be of different ages and nationalities. Could you see this in your local library, doctor’s office, classroom, or in your kids’ bedroom?
Hey folks who follow along the journey, I now have some nice prints who were made by John Sheridan .

The design stems from blah blah blah. Nada, it was fun to create,punto. And the words are of some of my favorite Donald Byrd songs. Please support his music.
I think the first time I was introduced to Byrd (Rest In Peace) was through Black Moon out of Brooklyn. Like many hip hoppers of the time I was eager to find out where the hell these sounds they were using came from. I found that other groups such as Digable Planets, Gangstarr, Dilla, and more were sampling his work and it opened my mind to his music. I wont do a whole bio but he played traditional and fusion, and he’s one of the few Jazz musicians like Ron Carter who played WITH hip hop groups instead of complaining about how they didnt get this or that. Don Was (Blue Note) wrote a nice piece about him. And peep this concert of him performing with The Blackbyrds( I think), a group of young musicians from Morehosue college who he took under his wing.Annnd the Mizell Brothers!
If anyone has connects to his family, let me know. I would love to work with them to work towards his memory. RIP.
