(See www.RipSqueak.com.) But before he set upon the journey as the illustrator of Rip Squeak®, he worked as a fine artist for many years. He and his wife also developed other stories and characters that Leonard illustrated, some of which appear on this website. As the creator of Rip Squeak and Friends™, Leonard has been honored as the featured illustrator for the 2003 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books and was recently honored with a one-man show at the Delaware Art Museum (DelArt.org) in Wilmington Delaware. Leonard was also included as one of the children’s book illustrators in the Simon Wiesenthal Museum of Tolerance’s “Every Picture Tells a Story” exhibition that was described as “a celebration of diversity and tolerance as portrayed in illustrated children’s books.” (The show also traveled to museums in Atlanta and Chicago.) He is the illustrator of four children’s books, an activity book, and is the featured artist and illustrator in two art books and one museum catalog. His images have appeared in over thirty limited print editions (many of which are sold out), and his work is collected worldwide. His second children’s book, “The Treasure” was a finalist for an IPPY award in 2003. His Rip Squeak® art and books can be found in galleries and bookstores across the US and in Canada. BACKGROUND As a professional artist, Leonard Filgate has been refining his work for over 30 years. He is a self-taught artist, with no formal training beyond high school. The majority of his art education came from life experiences, his own studies of the great masters, and his unwavering determination and diligence to learn and succeed. Leonard grew up in San Francisco, California. Throughout his childhood, when he wasn’t roaming the beach and parks with his friends, he’d spend hours in his room drawing and painting. He sold his first painting at age 16.   ***Click Here to See Our Other Ebay Auction to get FREE SHIPPING and Extra DISCOUNT on some of the items !***      For questions or comments contact us here Paypal, Visa, MasterCard, AmericanExpress, Discover, Personal Check and Money Order Cashiers Check Welcome For Questions, Click Here to Contact Us   *** See Our Other Ebay Auction!***
