June 2007 Release
"I began my career creating art for an animated feature film,
and it has been a life-long dream to tell some of the story
of my own life — the story behind my art — through the medium of motion
pictures.
The dream is coming true; we’re starting work on “The Christmas Cottage,”
which I hope will be the first in a number of inspirational movies to tell
the story of my growing up. The outlines of my boyhood story may be known to
you. My parents parted ways early, and my proud mother — who never accepted
public aid — struggled mightily to keep her three children fed and housed
and inspired by the wonder of life, despite almost daily challenges.
But as I re-live what were, despite the hardships, golden years, I realize
that God must have had a hand in some of our miraculous escapes. Somehow my
mother bought our tidy little home with no money down. The payments we
scraped together, the injuries we barely avoided, the holidays we somehow
managed to celebrate — these are my small dramas.
In the film, I’m featured at work, painting a study of The Christmas
Cottage, — the radiantly lit, loving home that sheltered and supported the
development of my character. We are releasing the official The Christmas
Cottage print now, as a way of providing a “sneak preview” of the film
especially for my many loyal collectors."
