While best-known as the internationally-lauded author/illustrator/designer of the best-selling encyclopedia of primitive living skills Living on the Earth (1970) and nine other illustrated bohemian books, Alicia Bay Laurel also makes her way as a vocalist/guitarist/songwriter, visual artist, storyteller, author, teacher, event planner and graphic designer.  She orbits between Arizona, California, Hawaii, Japan and other places, touring in support of her four self-produced music CDs, illustrating clothing and paper items, making folk art from recycled objects, and promoting sustainability, creativity and compassion wherever she goes.
