Peter Dunlap-Shohls lived in Alaska long enough to survive North America's largest recorded earthquake, its second-largest oil spill, sundry volcanic eruptions and more encounters with large panicky moose than he would like to remember. For over twenty-five years he was the editorial cartoonist for the Anchorage Daily News. His work has been recognized with numerous prizes including The First Amendment award from the Alaska Press Club. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2002, leads the Anchorage Parkinson's Disease Support Group. His blog about the disorder can be found at http://offandonakpdrag.
He is married to graphic designer Pamela Dunlap-Shohl. They live on the outskirts of Anchorage, in the foothills of the Chugach Mountains. Peter was the first person to donate art to Team Cul de Sac.
Getting to know Peter as been such a pleasure. He is a swell guy and I really am thankful for his kind words and his support. I just wished i had met him a couple of years ago when I was in vacationing in Alaska!
