‘The Garden of Eye Candy’ book now available…

The Garden of Eye Candy
188 pages / embossed hardcover in deluxe slipcase pkg / cover art by Mijn Schatje
List price of $39.95 / by Gingko Press

‘The Garden of Eye Candy’ recently came out and is a must own. While the ads that are running in various magazines don’t do much justice informing one what awaits inside, I just picked up this great collection and it really offers up a great mix of up and coming artists.

‘The Garden of Eye Candy’ features an international roster of artists in a luxurious and exquisite box set. Featuring contributions from several Thinkspace regulars including the likes of Amy Sol, Camilla d’Errico, Lesley Reppeteaux, and KuKula along with Luke Chueh, Nicoletta Ceccoli, Jaime Zollars, Lisa Petrucci, Mijn Schatje, Noferin, Brandt Peter, Koralie, Tim McCormick, Kendra Binney, Danielle Lamberti, Mark Bodnar, Josh Taylor, Danile Lim, Juri Ueda, and many more. Each artist section features a short overview and anywhere from 6 to 8 pages of images.

Available at Amazon and Last Gasp
