Told with humor, these "almost-true" accounts of our founding fathers in their early years are created with cartoon illustrations and period typefaces.  Historical portraits and a true-or-false section adds a fun, historical perspective.

Illustrations are hand-drawn with pen and ink.  Texture is added with collage and mixed media.

Themes:  American History, Founding Fathers
