The Books Have Arrived

Just delivered by the UPS guy...Diana's new book, "A New Global Agenda" arrived this morning. It's always exciting to hold the actual item in your hands...makes it more real, and has the new book smell (printer's ink, mostly).

A New Global Agenda edited by Diana Ayton-Shenker

Leonardo & Raphael

The local library was having one of its book sales last weekend, so I picked up a couple of things. These were 2 books that I got for my personal art library. I've been doing a lot of drawings recently, and these 2 artists are among the best ever in the draughtsmanship department, as well as being great painters, obviously. I should be able to find some inspiration within.

My older books now available via Amazon

I just received an email from Lulu.com, the on-demand printer where I published a few portfolios a couple of years ago (around 2006) -- Ayton Volume I, Small Drawings & The War Room Portfolio. It seems they are now available on Amazon Marketplace (I have been selected for this honor). I guess this is very nice, more people will now be able to find my books, and, hopefully, buy them. Below is the front cover of the Ayton Vol. I portfolio (with the Narcissus painting from 1991):


Just go to Amazon & search under my name, you should find them. So far, only the one above has an actual cover image visible on the Amazon page, but the others will probably follow in due course.

BTW, the books are cheaper if you go to Lulu.com & get them there (my profit margin stays the same), though if you are buying a number of items on Amazon, it might work out better for you with regards to shipping & so on.
