What wonderful news Chris! You must be so thrilled. Tell us more about the context. Is it strictly images of drawings, or drawings with comments by the artist, or a full on instructural book?

Thanks to you all.

This is not an instructional book but is similar to the other North Light formats, i.e. Best of Portrait Painting, a short paragraph by each contributor. Very little text, but images that are very and reproductions of excellent quality.

LOL? Hey, this is serious. I just ordered THE book from Amazon! Can't wait to see your beautiful drawing and all the other geniuses in print. I want to be one, too. Will I ever be able to say, like the engineers supposedly said during my ancient college days, "Now I ARE one."?

Strokes of Genius, The Best of Drawing just landed on my front porch! What a feast of beautiful drawings to be devoured for pure pleasure. The book will serve as an RX for inspiration to be taken when needed.

Chris Saper's charcoal and pastel drawing of the actor portraying Jean Valjean is wonderful and well deserves its cover position and its inclusion in the chapter on portraits! Along with each drawing is information about the subject's background and techniques used to create the work. This book is a must for every artist's library.
