Today is “International Children’s Book Day.” What a perfect day to announce to the WORLD that “I did it!” A few years ago I funded my Kickstarter to write and illustrate my first picture book “Surf Soup” Before I started my Kickstarter I started ProDUCktion on my TV/Cartoon show Surf Soup TV. To keep it sweet and short… The Surf Soup book I started in my studio turned into “The Surf Soup Series.” I had so much fun with my characters that the stories kept coming…and I started “Surf Soup” cartoon/comic, podcast(s), animated shorts, books, and also a film “Making Surf Soup!’ So it is my pleasure to softly and humbly announce that I fulfilled my goal for my Kickstarter to make my first Children’s book. The release is on April 5. But wait…I have ‘3’ books to release in one day! Yes! I completed “3” Surf Soup books to start the Surf Soup series! “EggOh Too!-Broadcasting Love”, “Winnie -The- Pooh and EggOh Too!,” and “Hope Seeds-Hope For Our Environment.’ Happy International Children’s Book Day! Surf Soup series and the fun begins! Thank you to EVERYONE who Kickstarted me and to all my “Helpers!” I am so grateful. For more:
I can hardly wait to show you everything I have been cooking in my studio! Expressed thru Animation, Comics, Picture Book, Art, Music, & Augmented Reality to show YOU! Oh my GOODness I can hardly wait! Oh and SURFING! ❤️🌈💨
