It's here! It's finally here. Susan Tuttle's new book "Exhibition 36" has hit the market. This has to be one of my favorite mixed-media art books of all time. Susan did a fantastic job gathering the work and thoughts of 36 artists, creating a personal gallery experience you can hold in your hands and tour any time you like. She gives you access to the inspiration behind the pieces as well as instruction and even discussions on such things as originality, artist's block and dealing with mistakes in your work. Susan has a terrific "show" of artists in her "gallery." I was excited to be included and delighted to see the work of many of my friends. Let me give you a peek:
and, of course, the fabulous Susan Tuttle
This is just a tiny taste of the offerings in this book. There are many more artists featured...too many to list! You must get a copy for yourself; sit down in that comfy chair by the fire, with a cup of coffee, and spend a few hours enjoying the exhibition. I'll be posting more photos of my work for the book later but, for now, here's a glimpse:
Clap! Clap! Clap! Yay for you Deryn! I just picked this up and will admit, i was torn between this one and Rice Zachary Freeman's book. But in the end, i was swayed by the fact that my sweet friends, you, Belinda and Marie, contributed so beautifully to this brilliant book! Brava dear ones! a fantastic accomplishment. (and i'm sure i'll get RZF's book next trip to Borders. he he)
also, i'm thrilled you'll be teaching at A&S Portland 09 as well. Wahoo! that means there's a good chance we'll get to play again this year. and that makes me smile. :-D

Oh I do look forward to receiving my copy of this book! Although I must admit I will admire mine in an airconditioned space with a cold, cold glass of wine!
Deryn, I hope you and your family have a fantastic Christmas and I look forward to your inspiring art in 2009.

Oh my gosh! I saw this at the book store and couldn't decide between this or "A Charming Exchange". I finally bought A Charming Exchange and am completely over whelmed. So many beautiful things! Congratulations on both books, I love your work. Amy @ Charming Sam Studio
