Ok, folks. After a straight week of sleepless nights, Impossible Fantasy's second studio book, "A View From the Corner: What One Sees While Staring at Nothing" is finished, published, and available for sale to the general public at the following link:
http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/2090944?alt=A+View+From+the+Corner%2C+as+listed+under+Arts+%26+Photography (if the link doesn't work, you can always follow the links on the studio's facebook page or search the title at blurb.com).
Now, unlike the first IFS book ("Visual Thinking: Living Inside a Fantasy" - also available through the same channels), this one is "less a catalog of recent works and more an ad hoc pep talk for aspiring professional artists that just happens to be illustrated with original paintings by the author from 2009 to the first quarter of 2011". I am quite sure the Crew will get a decent kick out of at least previewing this book, as they will recognize many of the images as Challenge pieces (mine, of course). I have also posted the link on the Challenge's facebook page as sort of an example or idea to fellow Challengonians for another way to push their own work.
In related news, congratulations are in order to our own Rusty, as she has already won the facebook contest with the grand prize of a FREE stamped and signed hardcover version of the book, complete with dust jacket. So, congrats again, Rusty, and thank you muchly for your continuing love and support of IFS! Same goes to the rest of the Challenge artists that have had occassion to help me limp this thing forward. (God, I love my job!)
