Amazon Description

Brilliant, sun-drenched illustrations filled with witty details chronicle the trials and tribulations of an artist who struggles along, painting people, poodles, and penguins, until he is discovered by a true art-lover.

"It's a zany story, a joyful celebration of following your dream."-Booklist

One Potato Review

The chicken or the egg? A nice little fable about the artistic process also has something to say about the difference between work we do to please others, and the dreams and impractical fancies which are otherwise essential to our persistence.
