Book of my Figurative Work

I have recently published a collection of my figurative paintings. It is a 40 page 8x10 inch hardcover book with a dust jacket and has 29 colour plates including details and preliminary studies. Each book is $49.99 and you can take a sneak peek and place your order if you're so inclined HERE






















This has kind of been a life long dream for me, so I must admit that when I first received copies of my new book in the mail we documented this momentus event with photos. hehe, I wasn't exactly dressed for the occasion, but here are some of those photos:) hehehe
