Artists to help create muralsSun: October 8, 2007 by Cliff Morman
Children in today's society do not have enough positive role models.
This is what Phil Yeh, founder and president of Cartoonists Across America, believes. He hopes to change this.
Yeh will be among the professional cartoonists and artists appearing at the Norman F. Feldheym Central Library in San Bernardino for "Read, Rock and Recycle" from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday.
The cartoonists and artists will join community members in creating murals promoting literacy and recycling on three 4-foot by 4-foot canvases.
"So often we don't hear about artists and writers in this country anymore, which is a serious problem because there's a lot of kids who have no idea what it takes to become an artist or a writer," Yeh said.
He wants to "bring out more artists and writers."
Phil Ortiz, an animator who has contributed to the "The Simpsons"; artist Matt Lorentz, who works for clothing company No Fear and skateboarder Tony Hawk; "Los Angeles Sentinel" cartoonist David Brown; and Hawaii-based freelance artist Marc Martinez will all appear at the event.
The library is at 555 W. Sixth St. in San Bernardino. READ ON
