WHERE THE MOTHER ROAD BEGINS


illinoisroute66.org
  

 
  I will be calling upon potential clients
during the months of October -2009-January-2010
throughout the Illinois Route 66 region.

My goal is 50-60 drawings in this publication.		  

 

 
     
 

 The Illinois Route 66 is the theme for a new book by David Alan Badger. The self-taught artist from Havana, Illinois has penned 8,500 drawings of Illinois architecture over the last twenty-seven years. Tentatively titled Recipes from the Illinois Route 66, it is his first cookbook dedicated to the Route 66.

Badger began work on the Illinois Route 66 book in late October which combines a series of drawings and recipes to create a "taste of the region". The author is contacting businesses and other interested parties about the project which has been endorsed by the Illinois Route 66 National Scenic Byway.

Each business that purchases 24 copies of the book wholesale may submit a recipe and receive, in return, the original pen and ink drawing (copyright free) of their business and be featured in two pages of the publication.

Badger plans to feature books on each of the state's seven scenic byways. Recipes from the Meeting of the Great Rivers was released in May 2008, Recipes from Illinois' National Road (2009), and Recipes from the Illinois River Road (2009). Each book takes up to four months to complete but the artist has even loftier goals. Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's body of work totaling over 20,000 original drawings, Badger has set that milestone as his ultimate plateau.
