Anyone immersed in inner-city community arts work with children and youth will relate to and relish the stories that art teacher and author/cartoonist Dave Lapp tells in his new critically acclaimed graphic novel, Drop-In. Dave’s stories take you into government housing projects and reveal the true-to-life tales he hears and witnesses while teaching art over a 12 year period at A Home for Creative Opportunity, ArtHeart and Arts for Children. Issues of extreme bullying and lack of empowerment amongst children and youth are combined with quirky and wonderful imaginations that reveal hope.  Dave sensitively portrays his students and takes you right into these community art studios he works in. Dave’s book can be ordered on-line through Amazon or Conundrum Press.
