hi Kimberly, I taught myself, i never got to find out from work, i read books, took sculpture lessons, did technical drawing, and practiced with a brush pen. that was before i started in 1990. i was okay. but as i got better in my spare time, i took the first 150 pictures and changed or binned them as they weren't in line with the other 450. OCD helps too. Dave Gibbons (the Watchmen) became a fan of them, a friend and encouraged me to refine them and not release them until every one was up to spec. I respect his opinion so i spent 2 years just putting the book together untill it resembled the book of my dreams or a book from the last century. i did two things that also helped. a Calligrapher, fluent in copperplate and i worked for a company that made books. so i knew process. a book this size came at a cost though. it was expensive to print, hard to sell because of its size. amazons reviews proved me wrong though. hope that helps. Gary. i'd like to see Red moth Art. I love all art
