You don't need to have a formal art education in order to be successful, but you do need to be educated. I've learned more from the books, magazines, and DVD's I've bought than I ever would have in art school, primarily because this curriculum has been tailored to my specific interests and passions.In keeping with that, here are some recommendations for books I've bought recently.

This was for a client to give her husband as a birthday gift.

Card Game Illustration - Bargain Hunter
This is another series of illustrations for Valley Games, the box cover illustration shown above. This game is called 'Bargain Hunter' and involves a garage or yard sale theme. I only require a very rudimentary understanding of the rules for these games and the style they're after in order to complete the images. H
