April has been a very busy month! Client and commission work has dominated my studio time but I am finally ready to announce a project that I have been working towards for over a year.

I am starting a publishing company! It should be no surprise that I like looking at art as much as I like making it. I have always been an avid collector of art books from films. Over the last few years that collection has grown to include books from the many artists that I admire. There is something fantastic about holding a bundle of your favorite art in your lap. Forge Publishing will focus on creating beautiful, independent, creator owned art books.

I am absolutely thrilled to announce that the first book in production will be Daily Paintings by Piper Thibodeau. If you’re not familiar with Piper’s work, I suggest you pop by her Tumblr page to see just a sample of over 1200 daily paintings that she has been creating since 2012! Piper and I have been planning her book for quite some time and we are getting really close to launching the Kickstarter.

To keep up to date on the development Piper’s new book and be among the first to know when the Daily Paintings Kickstarter goes live and take advantage of early backer rewards head over to ForgePublishing.com and sign up for the newsletter.
