These are a few images from my Book LOOSE LIPS ALMANAC

A contemporary collection of proverbs written by my brother, musician Bradley Thomas Moore, and illustrated by yours truly.

The "Loose Lips Almanac" was an idea Brad and I came up with over coffee on our weekly Monday meeting. Brad introduced me to the wonderful proverbs of Benjamin Franklin produced for the "Poor Richard's Almanac", published between 1732 and 1758. We decided together we should produce a booklet of proverbs for contemporary times. The results proved to be random bits of advice, not quite truisms, but playful thoughts I could illustrate.

I illustrated 8 verses altogether. This may be the first edition of many.
