There's a few of these I really liked so I may repurpose them for something else in the future.

We have around 30 copies left of the book, going down from 100 in just a weeks time! wow

If you like haunted houses, and spooky stories, and supporting artists you like, consider getting one before they are gone forever and you are haunted with the ghost of regret.

The Book of Three


Last year I had the honor of working with Henry Holt Macmillan on the 50th Anniversary of The Book of Three. 
I was commissioned to recreate Evaline Ness's original image in a two toned form to be stamped onto the hardcover, and it just came out today. Pretty Awesome stuff!
