As a child,
Mark Icanberry would get rolls of masking tape as a Christmas
present. And that was just fine with him-after all, you
can build a lot of cool things with tape. A hard hat, for
instance. Or hey, how about a scale model of a clipper ship?
Now 36 years
old, Icanberry appears to be grown up. He has a wife, a
13-year old son, and trained rabbit name Rusty, who hops
freely through their home in the hills of Kensington. But
Icanberry still loves to play with tape. And just about
everything else.
 "I
grew up in a construction sort of family," he explains.
"I've built things my whole life.....I'm always making something.
Constantly. Either that or I'm watching TV. There's really
no in between for me."
At first, Icanberry
channeled his creative gutting and renovating dilapidated
homes around the Bay Area. Lately, though, he's turned his
enthusiasm for zany kids projects into a second career,
sharing his ideas through a popular Web site and a new book
series known as "Look, Learn and Do."
The first two
books-Picnic on a Cloud" and Super Salads" arrive in stores
this fall.
