Illustrator and caricature artist Jason Gerke, also known as “The Doodler,” visited Fort McCoy summer campers Aug. 30 at the School Age Center/Youth Center.
Gerke, a resident of New Lisbon, Wis., is the illustrator of a children’s book, “Pauly Wants to Doodle All the Day.” The book was published in 2015 and written by Amanda Zieba, also from Wisconsin. Gerke also does logo designs
Supervisory Program Specialist Tammie Noe said the campers really enjoyed Gerke’s visit, which was their art activity for the day. Gerke talked about his work and drew caricatures for the approximately 15 teenage students attending camp that day.
“He does an amazing job,” Noe said. “He has come for a visit before, and the youth loved him.”
The visit was part the day’s art activity. While Gerke drew caricatures, the youths waiting for their turn drew pictures of their own or played games. Gerke spent several hours with the teens, drawing pictures and playing card games with them.
“I love inspiring and motivating young, imaginative minds,” Gerke said. “It was a lot of fun hanging out at Fort McCoy with the kids. It’s truly a great program they have there.”
