LANE SMITH PT. 2

As we mentioned a few days back, we have an upcoming event with an amazing children's book author and illustrator named Lane Smith.

He's won all kinds of awards and has produced many iconic books (Stinky Cheese Man,

anyone?) Lots of people know his work, but not many know that he was born in Tulsa. Don't believe us?

"LANE SMITH was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma on August 25th, 1959. His family moved to Corona, California when he was three, but spent the better part of every summer back in Oklahoma. "My family would take the old Route 66 highway. I think that's where my bizarre sense of design comes from. Once you've seen a 100-foot cement buffalo on top of a donut-stand in the middle of nowhere, you're never the same."

So not only was he born here, he attributes his entire sense of design to his time in our fair state. To get a taste of what that "sense of design" actually is, join us for this great event.
