Mike Venezia and George Berlin Begin New Book Series

Posted by Marie on October 6, 2010

Mike Venezia and George Berlin have teamed up to create a series of (mostly) picture books that feature their brand of creatively wacky illustrations.

The first book in the series, Ways To Get Around, focuses on all manners of transportation and travel. Yes, “bare feet” is covered but so too is “bear feet.”

The details and humor inside are going to keep the adults entertained even as the art and imagination delight their kids.

Get the book from Mike or George at one of their in-person appearances

Artist, writer, and illustrator Mike Venezia has created a mural for the Naperville (Illinois) Art League. Dedicated last month, the mural features many of history’s greatest artists along with their famous works of art.

Mike Venezia’s popular series of biographies are the basis for the video adaptations produced by Getting To Know, Inc.

In the picture, you can see Mike standing with Faith Ringgold in front of her cartooned version on the mural. Paul Klee paints and fiddles along side.
