Facial Reconstruction for Artists -- THE BOOK!

Yes, finally!!  Publication date is getting closer and even though I'm tired it's an exciting process.  Realized exactly how much I didn't know about writing a book - it always looked easier :) Watch for the ads in Art Doll Quarterly and CDC, autographed copies will be available on the website and you can order it on-line. This is a self-instructional guide, similar to the class but you can work on it when you have the time and take as long as you need.  I've taken all new pictures and spent time on the drawings. Large 8.5 x 11" format.  If you have any questions, just let me know. I've had a question about the content, this is not a class to teach you forensic facial reconstruction but how to use some of the techniques of facial reconstruction to improve your own work. You can utilize the information in the book to improve your own sculpting - or it's also good material for anyone who draws and paints as the information on the skull, muscles and tissue depths is a good foundation for any type of art.

A beautiful Easter

Couldn't have been a nicer day to celebrate such a wonderous occasion.  Church in the morning then a bar-b-que in the afternoon with my sister and her family.  After things being turned upside down for so long it was wonderful to just relax, enjoy the day and not have to worry about anything :)
