New! Book cover painting (by Crehore) for The Magazine's Book Project on Kickstarter
Just finished this painting- 14" x 18 3/8" oil on wood ©www.amycrehore.com. This was painted as a book cover for a printed book of select stories from The Magazine's first year. A mock-up version appears currently on kickstarter, but this is my final version of the painting. This is a fund raiser for the proposed book. They are also offering an almost full-size limited edition print of this as part of their fundraiser on kickstarter - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/glennf/the-magazine-the-book-year-one

Go to his websites to see his collection of fantastic toys in action and to read the history.
You won't be sorry. So beautiful!
