I have a great respect and love for the writings and art of Theodore Geisel, for it was he who taught me how to read. I still remember the jubilation I felt when I was able to read FOX IN SOX for the first time. I ran down the stairs of my gradmother's house and made every member of my family listen to the wonderful waterfall of words that I now could decipher. Joy such as that tends to stick with a person and is almost inevitably reflected in their art.

Then wax resist, lots of underglaze and a topcoat of old world crackle were applied and fired to cone 05 slowly.
