Mock Turtle Press releases new book by Disney artist and American Road photographer

 

Tony Craig left North Carolina in 1987 to pursue a career in animation.

He has worked as a producer and director on programs for the Warner

Brothers Studios, Hanna-Barbera, and the Walt Disney Company.

Tony grew to miss his home state so much, that he often returned to

the American South to photograph the landscape's vanishing icons, the General Store.

 

You'll find Country Stores in North Carolina's Tony Craig's love letter to these

havens that seem to sell yesterday from their shelves. For eight years,

he traveled the counties of North Carolina photographing old general

stores and interviewing their owners. His odyssey took him everywhere

from Min-O-Pon in Stanly County to Priddy's Store near Danbury.

Everywhere he visited, he found a bargain in one gentle truth:

Sometimes you can go home again.

 

If you read the Winter edition of American Road magazine, you saw Tony's photo essay

about Hot Springs, Arkansas. When Tony isn't taking pictures he's busy creating

watercolor paintings from his photographs. Samples of his paintings can be seen

at tonycraig.net.

copy, click on this link: http://americanroadmagazine.com/catalog/pr...products_id=349

 

The 3rd person that responds to me via e-mail with the correct answer

to the trivia question (below) wins a copy of "Cheap Motels and a Hot Plate," by

Michael D. Yates. Published by Monthly Review Press. Retail value: $15.95.

 

Trivia Question: In what city and state would you find the frog that is on the Winter

07 issue of American Road?

 

Good luck!
