Here..s what I..m about:
Travel on this inspiring journey as you gaze into the colorful and creative pages of "I Went for a Walk..." See amazing sights and meet lots of interesting creatures as you view different areas of earth, outer space and innerspace! After traveling around earth and all the way to Neptune, a pang of hunger sends you flying swiftly back home where moldy leftovers are all there is to eat. "Yuck, I can..t eat this! What good is a stinky old lasagna dish?" In an instant you are the size of a tiny atom, swirling in colorful light and flying through the Universe of MOLD, "Where the view was more beautiful than I could imagine!" Still looking for something to fill that hungry tummy, you visit planets called MOOVE and IZ, where the people are friendly but very different.Dedicated to the child within us, "I Went for a Walk" will delight people of all ages while stimulating the creative mind. This amazing story transcends the average adventure. It..s a journey through both the outside world and the beautiful expanding universe within us all. Every drawing is a reflection of inspiration felt by the illustrator on his travels as a touring musician across the globe. Drawing as he sat on park benches in Cologne, grassy knolls in Paris, bullet trains in Japan, high-rises in New York City and beaches in Hawaii, each page bubbles with a different perspective and energy. So, come for a walk, the adventure awaits!
