We Can Has Art Book


It's official.  Barron's has decided to buy the fantasy art book for publication in January 2010.  The working title is "Scan and Trace: Fantasy Templates".  Rafi, the artist, is fabulous.  I wish I could share some of the art used in the proposal, but I'm afraid you'll have to make do with this link
Barron's boasts a very strong line of how-to books for fantasy and graphic novel illustrators.  But nothing quite like what Rafi and I are about to do.  Can't wait.
Cheers and big, big grins,
Jean Marie

Thanks, lilifae! I think it will. Quarto, the publisher who initiated the project insists on partners in several countries before it will green light a project. So I think, at a minimum, all of their books are available in the US, the UK and Australia.
I have the greatest respect for artists too. I studied it for years, but I knew I'd never be better than mediocre. But I can write about it.
Cheers and smiles,
Jean Marie
