Native SoCal author and illustrator, backpacker on crooked trails, amateur photographer and more recently, creativity encourager, Clyde enjoys teaching foundational basics and appreciation for drawing and painting to as many aspiring artists as 
he can. With unprecedented changes in the current social and commerce atmosphere, he is exploring the realm of Virtual Online classes in Art Instruction. As an author, like many dealing with the push and pull of life, he is working under the radar on four projects, ranging from three illustrated, fiction novels and a home cook targeted cookbook addressing the hurdles of ingredient intolerances.

With the anticipation of the momentous arrival of a first grandchild, the August, 2020 Redemption Press relaunch of his Children’s Book, I Spy a Tiger, he’s seeing the book in a different light.

“Coming into a new season of my life as a Grampy, I look forward to that first reading with my precious grandchild! The blessings of reading a book together with the little ones in your life are eternal. Miraculous, serendipitous, laughter laden moments forever!”

In this fast-paced, virtual world, the interactive hands-on intimacy of a book between an inquisitive child and a nurturing parent or guardian, represent three cords of love coming together in a strong, invincible bond.

“This kind of fellowship can only help edify families and relationships. It will never lose a high place in championing childhood imaginations.”

I Spy a Tiger and the author invites young and old alike to adventuring, in mind, in body and in spirit, “There is so much for us to see and explore! Go on … have a look … it’s right out your door!”
