BUSHCRAFT WHITTLING – Rick Wiebe
Back in the 1970’s there were a series of books published called The Foxfire Books.

THE URBAN SKETCHING HANDBOOK: PANORMAS & VERTICAL LINES – Mário Linhares
It seems like there’s no shortage of books about art … ‘how to’ and ‘help’ books … and I’ve read a few of them over the years and I stumbled on this Urban Sketching Handbook series quite by accident. But a lucky accident it was. I was so impressed with this book, as well as Continue reading

AFTER THE FALL – graphic novel
Maybe, if I start checking reviews on Goodreads before requesting a book, I might have saved myself a little time by NOT reading this graphic novel.
