The G.R.E.A.T. (Gang Resistance Education and Training) project began with criticism over the training program's workbook. The program, which targets 2nd grade children to middle school children, used a workbook that was illustrated with cartoons. The characters appeared to be in a gang. I was approached by one of our Sergeants, who at the time was on a committee to change the cartoon illustrations to finished drawings. In 1999 I did these first drawings as examples of my work. Since that time I have done approximately 40 drawings. This was a big challenge and a lot of fun. The book is due to début in Aug-Sept 2001.
