It will issued as an ebook and if the campaign goal is reached as a hardcopy print book as well. It will cover my work beginning in traditional media (painting & drawing) from 1977–85 to digital media from 1983–2018. It will include commissioned critical essays by two well-known art historians. All editions are projected to contain 250 pages including 175 images.”
