Episode 61 S2: The Author and Illustrator of Coney A Trip to Luna Park- The Artist Jeffrey Lindberg (published April 11th, 2023)
Jeffrey Lindberg is a dedicated artist who has spent decades being an illustrator for publishing companies like Simon and Schuster, Penguin, and even the likes of author R.L. Stine. During that time he has also been a professor of Illustration and Graphic Design at Kean University and other surrounding universities where he shared his love for art making and encouraged his students to give themselves permission to make the thing they want to make. He recently gave himself to do the same. The result is a children's book that he wrote and illustrated titled, "Coney, A Trip to Luna Park." The book is full of the details of the place in its 1904 roots as only can be shared by someone who is skilled in both telling a history that he loves, but also with the care of an artist who pays attention to detail.
