Yes, I know Shonto's previous work, and have written about it before, in a book chapter I did for one of Violet Harris's books on multicultural literature.

And--here's an artist who is new to me. I put out a call a few hours ago. It is getting several 'likes' and shares, but this is the first expression of interest from an artist. He sent me his website. Looks great! http://www.gscott-tru-arts.com/
