The Art of Crayons Has Hit the Bookstands!

It’s finally time to announce the launch of my book:

 The Art of Crayon!


It has been a long time in the making, but I couldn’t be happier to share that  The Art of Crayon is now available in bookstores and online in several countries.

The Art of Crayon expands on the latest crayon craze by showing you how artists have taken the humble crayon to new and greater heights!
