Children's Books
The Don Yoni book series consist of informative storylines with colorful illustrations for children ages 2 to 5.
Don Yoni is the protagonist of my story, perhaps even my alter ego. The character represents a kind person who seeks to bring out the best in a human being— small acts like haring a smile, a hug, or a simple drawing can make a big difference.
The character is my own creation, and so are the scenarios, clothing, vehicles and surroundings. I do not copy from any pictures, it comes from my imagination and flows from my mind to the paper.
Sometimes, my interpretation of the character will take difference forms. It could be a Donna, like my opera singer, or an animated tree blade of grass with a smile. My drawings don't always look realistic— in art there are no rules. My dream is for Don Yoni to become a household name, accepted and liked by many.
