Industry Reviews
"Illustrator Leonard Jenkins works in acrylic, pastel, and spray paint to produce remarkable images that manage to capture simultaneously the young Armstrong's exuberance and the claustrophobic hardships of his childhood."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - James Sullivan (12/21/1997)
"The dark, edgy, mixed-media paintings, with lurid yellow highlights, give an almost palpable sense of the rough poverty and swirling nightlife of Armstrong's early environment."
