The Book of the Raven
In
2019 I was contacted by a publisher about being included in a book that celebrated
Corvids in Art and Literature. Excitedly I gathered high-resolution images of
the prints in the publisher was interested in. A few weeks later I received a
contract from a London publisher, Laurence King Publishing. After a quick Google search, I learned that my artwork would be included in a book by the United Kingdom’s
premier publisher of art books, I was thrilled. The book was due out in 2020. Then
Covid happened and I heard very little from them. I wasn’t even certain if my
work made it into the final edit. In December 2020 I wrote to them and asked about the status of the book, I got a polite reply saying that everything had been
pushed back until Fall 2021. I asked if I had been included and “Yes,
we chose two of your prints”. Today I received the book from the publisher and
it is more beautiful than I thought, it is small, but it is 160 pages,
beautifully edited, bound, and printed. It is due out October 15. When I opened the
book, I found many of my favorite artists and writers from the 18th
century. Some artists I do not know but many are known, as masters.
It is a profound privilege to be included in the book.
