The first time I saw work of this nature on the cover of a book, my mind just about exploded. After reading about how they were done I was filled with child-like wonder.
Now, I am a guy who often does tedious things for hours at a time, but holy cow, I don't know that I would have it in me to make one. Claude's work, and patience, are just amazing. His work truly captures my imagination!
Thanks for sharing!

P.S. I noted that he said he could use help finishing his book. I think it would be wonderful if the AAW could aid in that endeavor. I would hate to see his knowledge and experience never published, especially since his artform and skillset are so rare.
