From the Pueblo Chieftain by Mary Jean Porter
"'FOUR FAMOUS SQUEAKING GUINEA PIGS,'" from the audience and wrote their names on his paper except he wrote the letters at random. One by one, he turned the boys names into drawings of them...he later gave these drawings to the boys ---and probably made friends for life."
Ken is a natural born story-teller who illustrates his long tales and version of the History of Art.
In the workshops Ken draws along with the participants showing them step by step techniques in creating images.
