Goat Tails and Doodlebugs
A Journey Toward Art
Description:... A childhood in Mexia, Texas, is the starting place for these events, and Jackson's youthful wonder is preserved as he shares stories of his family, friends, and the characters of his hometown. Most revealing, though, are the influences of college and his camping trips in Mexico which professionally and geographically changed his direction in life.
