About me:



What happens when the power goes out on a hot summer day in the big city? As the sun sets and the sky darkens, the stars come out and hearts and imaginations shine bright.

BLACKOUT! is a 32-page coloring book story based on the magical happenings in New York City during the blackout on August 14-15, 2003. Written by Martín Perna and illustrated by Ricardo Cortés, the book is a part of a new body of fun and radical literature for a new generation of children of all ages.

Printed with 0 VOC vegetable-based inks on 100% recycled paper.



Purchase the book here!

Release date: August 12, 2006

We've now had 5 years of lies about Iraq: 9/11, WMD's, freedom. The real reasons were oil, profiteering, fascism. Not just Bush, but the news media, most of congress, and all who remain silent. And now they'll use fear to quash dissent. It's nothing new -- it's been going on for ages. War, poverty, ecocide, arrogant bullying --they're all from greed and fear, which come from ignorance. ♥ But it's not too late -- we can still learn to make peace. Talk with people. Love, Eric

yo my brotha Martin,
The pleasure was all mine @ the Blackout reading on Saturday. I'm glad we could come out, show some support and make friends. Your energy is vibrant and inviting. I hope to get together sometime soon and talk some music, life, etc. My little Zander nade me read his Blackout before he went to sleep. Word! Welcome to Austin!
Peace to you
