Hank’s Been Having Fun…And Now Lot’s More Fun!
Cool Stuff About Animals
I’ve been having a great time smiling a lot and collaborating with C. Warren Gruenig from Dana Point, California, on an entirely new children’s book, “Cool Stuff About Animals Book Two”! With C.W’s idea and text, my illustrations and my wife, Janet’s, computer skills, Book Two now joins our original book with even more animals and “cool stuff” to amaze and delight all ages.

After Hours
Hank is pleased to be showing many of his contemporary paintings at The Nash, an education and performance center owned by Jazz in Arizona, a non-profit organization featuring local and national jazz celebrities and emerging jazz musicians. The Nash has been a perfect venue for this art genre while supporting teachers and exciting and talented musicians. View more of Hank’s abstract work on his Abstract & Contemporary Art page.
