Small Potatoes

Paul Madonna is an award-winning artist and writer known for combining drawing and stories in a wide range of genres, from his enigmatic art series "All Over Coffee," which ran for 12 years in the San Francisco Chronicle, and his outrageous ongoing syndicated cartoon series "Small Potatoes," to his large-scale public murals and his entertaining and sharply plotted illustrated novels. Celebrated internationally in museums as well as in print, Madonna’s unique blend of drawing and storytelling has been heralded as an “all new art form.”

Madonna’s second book, "Everything is Its Own Reward" (City Lights 2011), won of the Northern California Book Reviewer’s Recognition Award for Best Book.

In 1993, Madonna was MAD Magazine’s first ever art intern. Having applied for the ambiguously labeled position of intern, he was informed that MAD only offered writing internships. They were so impressed with Madonna's writing and drawing skills, however, that they created a new position for him.
