It\u2019s loaded cover to cover with amazing artists, genius art tips, techniques, insights, and of course, brilliant artwork.

It doesn\u2019t treat them as an \u2018either\/or\u2019 proposition. Some of the most fertile ground in today\u2019s art is found in those combinations and experiments.<\/p>\n<p>This is a book to savor slowly page by page. Very honored to be one of the twenty-eight featured, and especially honored that my artwork was chosen for the cover. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Attention sf\/f art lovers: there\u2019s a new feast of fabulous art for you in stores now.
