CARY SOL WOLINSKY

On September 9, 2023 we held a celebration of life for Cary in his studio. In preparation for this event, we put together a book of images of Cary from childhood to his day of passing. Friends and family provided memories and stories for the book and then during the celebration many signed it and said their farewells.

This book is available HERE as a pdf.

PRINCE GOOZE AND THE RIVER OF STARS

Doodles cover my desk blotter, my meeting notes and the field notes I write when traveling for National Geographic Magazine. Some people read paperback novels when they dine alone in a restaurant; I doodle.

Prince Gooze doodled out of my pen onto Novotel restaurant place mats in Ghana, Western Africa in 1992. Each evening a page of the Gooze story took shape while curious waiters looked on. I was anxious to share the story with my wife and son; so, each morning, I sent a new page home by fax. Babs and Yari heard the fax machine groaning forth at about 3:00 am every day until this doodle-fax book was complete. — Cary Wolinsky

Before Cary arrived home from Africa, I printed his black and white faxed drawings and bound them into a handmade book. We called it a Doodle-Fax book. In 2022, Cary and I decided to color the drawings and fill in some of the missing images to create this version of Prince Gooze and the River of Stars. — Babs Wolinsky

Prince Gooze and the River of Stars is available as a hardcover book on Blurb for $70. 44 pages
