When we found the two fire fighter paintings among our Dad's many works of art, we thought to use them to do some good. We decided to donate the posters to our local Fire Departments in honor of Our American Fire Fighters.
The paintings glowed with Dad's deep respect for fire fighters everywhere, for their service to the community and for their wonderful camaraderie as a team of highly-trained and dedicated individuals who go into harm's way to protect us all.

Jerry is an amazingly talented and versatile artist who has curated comic book shows, represented many comic book artists, written countless books, traveled to over 70 countries lecturing and touring and who is still out there creating wonder every day...and he's one of the best story-tellers I know. Even so, this description falls far short of his diverse and far-ranging accomplishments.
