A book about creative inspiration would not be possible without the influence and helping hands of others. Here are just a few of the people that kept me on the right track and are deserving of thanks: Mica Scalin, Paul Overton @ DudeCraft, Slash Coleman, Terry Border @ Bent Objects, Mark Hurst @ Gel, Andy Stefanovich @ Play, Mimi Regelson @ Exile, Erin Housholder and all the folks at The Video Fan, Nathan Wender, Shelia Gray, Tere Hernández-Bonét @ My Precious Studio, Madonna Dersch and Phil Cheney, Ross Harman and Oura Sananikone @ Sticky To GoGo, Lori Basarab, and Erin McKean, as well as all of the kind folks who agreed to share their work and experiences in this book!
A debt of gratitude goes out to Margret Aldrich and all the fine folks at Voyageur Press for taking on this book as I envisioned it.
Super-agent Kate McKean gets a heaping helping of thanks for once again guiding me through the murky waters of book making with grace and aplomb.
A very special thanks goes out to Citizen Agent, Justin Tatman” Lovorn, and Abby Davis, who have taken on the reins of Skull-A-Day and allowed me to have the time to work on new projects like this. Plus extra kudos to them for each taking on their own weekly, yearlong skull-making projects as well!
My parents, to whom this book is dedicated, are the greatest art teachers in my life.
And my everlasting adoration goes out to Jessica, who has now seen me through the process of making two books and once again kept me from starving or ending up in the loony bin. Will you marry me?
