I’ve just finished writing a book called “Tales of the Creative Life” that is comprised of 75 short parables on the wonders and hardships of the creative life. The book will likely be illustrated and I’m looking for an illustrator. If you’d like to learn more, drop me an email to ericmaisel@hotmail.com and I’ll explain.
I am an artist, interested in your project.
