fresh from the drawing table

I recently finished illustrating a new book: Holy Shit: Managing Manure to Save Mankind by Gene Logsdon, published by Chelsea Green. Hot of the press…its witty, smart and timely. Do check it out!
About 10 years ago I picked up an old Logsdon classic called ‘The Contrary Farmer’. It was a formative read that encouraged me to think about how the pursuit of farming, if approached with wisdom and communicated with courage, could be a radical and potent act. Needless to say, it was a great experience to illustrate for an agricultural hero of mine, and to work with the editor Makenna Goodman, a new friend and also a farmer .
