The books of my youth. These are books that I checked out of the library so often that on the sign out slip, it appeared that I was the only person who checked these books out. Actually, the Frazettas, George Perez, Fairies and Killing Joke were mine. Being a comic book geek, that is what I wanted to do. But, as with most midwestern youths, it was not deemed a worthy occupation in the household.

The Illustrators that I love. Just some, there are so many. Some of the ones that I have yet to post would be: Paul Calle', NC Wyeth, Alphonse Mucha, Jessie Wilcox Smith, Lisbeth Zwerger, Scott Gustafson, David Catrow, Arthur Rackham, Edmund Dulac, Alan Lee, John J. Muth, George Pratt, Chris Payne,

A list of some of the drawing books that are out there of good quality. Good items to request from you library or book store. There are many more, but these are some of my favorites. All represent some of the best of contemporary figure drawing.
