"Wild Oats" was Huffman's first book and "Oats to Art" continues with stories of personal adventures with historical context he experienced along his way to The Fresno Bee's Central California newspaper. There he created political cartoons, celebrity portraits, characters, newspaper illustrations, courtroom drawings, police sketches and Huffman wrote and illustrated some feature stories. "Oats to Art" reveals Huffman's observations and impressions on his journey through decades on a quest to create the best art he could in the time and space a newspaper allows. He took time to enjoy outdoor pleasures and to sketch and paint with some of the best artists in the Valley, travel, dive, fish, golf and write.
