Monday February the 10th at 6pm, some of my children will join me at the The Martha and Robert Fogelman Galleries of Contemporary Art to read a couple of stories from the Embustero project in remembrance of my mother Guillermina's birthday. On the 10th she would have been 91.
On the 27th of February at 11:30, my father's and my brother's Francisco's birthday, Gary Golightly will be presenting preliminary design/layout of the graphic novel Embustero. Shortly thereafter, Lisa Smith Williamson, Sarah Wright, and Gabe Skinner will present preliminary drawings based on a children's story I am working on tentatively titled, Q and the Cloudless Butterflies. On the 27th my father Ming would have been 109. Hope you can join us!
