NEW RELEASE
Joe Weissmann (Illustrator) Can Hen’s Give Milk by Joan Betty Stuchner. Joe told us, “When I received the manuscript, I was very excited because I just love doing that sort of work. The story takes place in Russia in the town of Kelm where a lot of silly people live. I tried to give the artwork a folkish feel. I worked in acrylics to achieve deep saturated colors. My favourite character was the rabbi with his scraggly beard.”
