I've done the cover and all the illustrations to Bradley Mason Hamlin's poems.

12 Gauge Press was actually the first publisher who wanted to publish my work. I had bought a lot of books from Gary Aposhian at the press and he wrote me to say he liked the small drawings and doodles I made in my letters to him and he asked me if I wanted to illustrate this book. Then it took many years for it to be published but that's another story.
