  12. About the art process behind my book covers…and a question...

    I began abstract painting around 2015–2016 after many years of realistic pen and ink sketching connected to my architectural work. Over time, colour, geometry, and nature shifted my practice toward abstraction.

    In 2022, I gave an artist talk at the Lundt‑Glover Gallery in Chatham, NJ, hosted by the Art League of the Chathams, where I discussed my work at the time, including digital developments in NFTs and my decision not to pursue that direction.

    Later that year, I began the 27‑painting series that my current ecofiction trilogy covers are based on, using four panels from that show as the starting point for the newer work.

    Three good things:
    1. Making art.
    2. Sharing art.
    3. Selling art to pay for more art supplies!!!

    Watch the full 38‑minute talk here: youtu.be/X400L4JI-LQ

    The piece shown, Wellness, was part of the solo show and later became the cover for our ASEI Arts international charity anthology, Anthology House Vol. 2, created to benefit UNICEF.

    A question for my art and book lover peeps here: when you think about art and the art of book covers, what lights you up, what inspires you, and what are you drawn to reach out for?

  14. I scored this rad #hardcover #book for free, today 😀

    Poison Flowers & Pandemonium - A #RichardSala #Omnibus. It's a collection of his last four books in one gorgeous hardcover. It was published & released just months before his death in May 2020.

    I'm looking forward to diving into this book, tonight, after work. It was a fantastic free find👍

  15. I really like art and I would like to share with you one of my #bookfoldings. It is a completely handmade work with any book (writers, please don't kill me). I make art from a read book that has been gathering dust on a shelf and I turn it into an eternal book and a very original gift.

  16. Me gusta mucho el arte y me gustaría dejaros aquí uno de mis #bookfoldings. Se trata de un trabajo totalmente artesanal con cualquier libro (escritores, por favor no me matéis). Hago arte a partir de un libro leído que ha ido acumulando polvo en una estantería y lo convierto en un libro eterno y un regalo de lo mas original ❤️
