THE CLOSET
Gary De Maria
EVERYONE HAS ONE…
a closet
- a place to keep our private faces.
But closets are for hangups, not for people. And thanks to Gary De Maria’s unique brand of social commentary, not even moths need live in closets any longer!
With incisive wit and wisdom, Gary De Maria applies his art-and psychology schooling for the fearful, the loathing, the sympathetic, and the curious. He draws from his many experiences, including that of zany roller-skating waiter at Busby’s on San Francisco’s infamous Polkstrasse, in a context witty, poignant, and sometimes sad.
Open the closet door! Take a cruise to liberation’s last frontier. Meet the Fairy Godfather, D.O., Helen and Harry - the “breeders,” little but oh-so-aware Munchkin and the myriad other real-life characters who illustrate here what awareness and fairness are all about.
WE ALL HAVE A COMMON DENOMINATOR …ONLY SOME OF THE PROPS MIGHT BE DIFFERENT.

Dino Style
Dinosaurs & Graffiti
Learn about 16 dinosaurs through the visual power of graffiti!
Since its beginnings, graffiti art has always emphasized the importance of a writer’s nickname, a single word colorfully painted to grab attention and leave a lasting impression. DINO STYLE pays tribute to this tradition by taking a trip through a graffiti writer’s black book to learn about dinosaurs. Each dinosaur has a graffiti nickname which will help young readers to remember it.
Written and illustrated by a public school science teacher and graffiti enthusiast, DINO STYLE is sure to become a stand out addition to every child’s book collection.

A brave and beautiful work about the loss
of a beloved partner, Cadence is a fifty-day countdown through remembered moments of love and companionship.
With each day presented as a recollection of intimacy and reflection on love’s gifts, we learn how love can and should be celebrated even after loss.
As the last day arrives, and we’ve fully experienced the joy and sorrow of this too-short journey, we are presented with
real hope: that true love is never lost between true lovers—for a love that is strong enough can come to contain even time itself.
