In the Tall, Tall Grass was the  first book in which Denise Fleming, used pulp painting as a medium.  “There is always an element of surprise in pulp painting, as I cannot completely control the blending of color and fiber. Each fiber retains its individual color–this and the layering of fiber create a feeling of depth in the finished painting.”  – Denise Fleming

Jay Hosler, writes and draws graphic novels that focus on natural history, evolution, and insects. Lots and lots of insects. His  goal is to use the compelling visual power of comics to illustrate the alien worlds that often go unnoticed and unappreciated.  Hosler is noted for using his storytelling as a means engaging the reader in scientific exploration & education, most notably in  his graphic novel, “The Last of the Sandwalkers.”
