from the press release:
Chico Artist Aye Jay Morano presents his
Heavy Metal Fun Time Activity Book at Barnes & Noble
Chico, CA, February 26, 2008 – Long time Chico artist and resident Aye Jay Morano will present his latest book, The Heavy Metal Fun Time Activity Book, at Barnes & Noble in Chico on Saturday, March 8 at 3:00 PM. The public is invited to meet Aye Jay, draw themselves as Gene Simmons of Kiss in a coloring contest, and enter to win one of two valuable heavy metal history books from Aye Jay’s publisher, ECW Press. This event will be interactive and great fun for all ages.
Aye Jay is an amazing local talent that has been on the cutting edge of Chico’s art and music scene for years, thus it is no wonder his work has garnered well-deserved and far-reaching attention.
Aye Jay’s first book, The Gangsta Rap Coloring Book, will also be available at the event, and exemplifies some of the Aye Jay’s best artwork. Aye Jay takes his success in stride, and remains a very humble and hard-working husband and dad. He is a genuine Chico success, a source of local pride, and “the real deal” as a person. Aye Jay will happily talk with young artists, metal-heads, rockers, and rappers that attend. Please join us for this very special event!
