About the author

I've been writing and illustrating for 77 years. My most recent books are a graphic memoir/novel -- ROWENA SUNDER, ARTIST IN NEW YORK, 1965-70, published by McFarland & Co., Publishers, in 2018, and WHAT'S NEXT -- a book of short storries and poetry, also 2018, and self-published for my MFA thesis. It also is illustrated. I have done comic strips, cartoons, stories, poems, and several novels which need to be edited. My head goes faster than my fingers. I live in Baltimore Maryland, and have for 29 years. I have a couple of old blogs that I no longer keep up on blogspot. Barkinglips is the name, also for my videos on Vimeo and Youtube. I have a Twitter account, but never use it...I opened it when Obama was elected, and quit when tRump was elected. On INSTAGRAM I am very active, mostly with cartoons and with photographs.

Reviews

[Linda Franklin]

One of my first books. It's never been done better, I have to say. Several editions. The last one was stolen from me by the son of the publisher because I refused to "update" the pricing of each item because it was unnecessary. So "Thomas Hudgeons" is listed as a co author because he put prices on and then the book was sold I think to Random House and I went there to complain and got nothing from them. A lot of legal "yeah yeah"s. ARGHHHHH!!!!
