| Wolf House |
| I am the only artist to have researched and drawn pictures of Jack London's ill-fated Wolf House that consumed three years of his life from 1911 until August 1913. The house was built at a cost of $ 80,000 1910 dollars. " Wolf House " was named in honor of his early experiences in the gold fields of the Yukon Territory, Canada. It was to be a monument to his life and his great "Log Cabin" in the sky. On the evening before he and his wife Charmian were to move into this magnificent structure it was set on fire by unknown persons. |
| I have designated a portion of the proceeds from the sale of prints and limited editions of the "Wolf House" drawings, be donated to the California State Parks Foundation. The donations to be distributed to the Valley of the Moon non-profit organization to fund their volunteer services to preserve, benefit and protect this state landmark. This is a world wide historic site. Jack London's Wolf House is one of the most popular historical landmarks that the foreign visitors seek out and visit. Jack London's writings are read and collected all over the world, he is recognized for breaking the Victorian mode in western writing. His realistic raw style in the use of words and conversation, along with the emergence of the American short story form, was an explosion on the literary scene. |
