My brain never seems to turn off. It is in constant creative mode. Story/script ideas, cartoons, thoughts, anecdotes, lyrics, melodies. it's a never ending brain explosion. And I have to have some kind of noise stimulus around me just to try and distract me because if I try to quiet it, the silence is deafening. That is why I decided to put together this book as a cathartic release, a spring cleaning (so to speak) of my brain just to make room for the next explosion. Enjoy the garage sale that is my mind and I hope you find something you can fill your head with. - Dave Shelton About the Author: Dave Shelton is a film/TV writer/director/cartoonist/voice actor living in Los Angeles with his fiance Tami Zorge and multitudes of characters from his brain.
