{"title":"Chris Ayers","description":"In 2005 Chris Ayers was working as a character designer and concept artist in the Los Angeles film industry. On April Fool's Day his career--and everything else for that matter--was put on hold when a cancer diagnosis of acute myelogenous leukemia slammed its massive fist down on the PAUSE button of life's remote control. Fortunately, though, that pause did not become STOP and a premature EJECT.","products":[{"product_id":"daily-zoo-vol-3-healing-together-hardcover","title":"Daily Zoo Vol. 3: Healing Together - Hardcover","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe adventure continues as author\/illustrator Chris Ayers adds another 365 animals to his zoological menagerie with \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Daily Zoo: Year Three\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e. The series began as a personal project in 2006 as a means of art therapy for Chris as he recovered from acute myelogenous leukemia, a cancer of the blood. The premise was to draw one animal each day. In this latest installment, Chris--still going strong in terms of his health and his art--brings us such whimsical characters as koala gymnasts, tigers in tuxedos, and golfing frogs (who cheat!). Accompanying the images are the author's continuing reflections on his cancer experience and his artistic processes, as well as fun animal factoids.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50818696839391,"sku":"9781624650222","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/fM_3qOJuIA9781624650222.webp?v=1785852067"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/chris-ayers.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
