Hi everyone,

For the first time, I’ve asked someone to share my books with me.
Kei Acedera has stepped up from being a regular contributor to our books to becoming the new art director here at Imaginism Studios. Her ideas and sense of design are wonderfully appealing and come almost effortlessly.
And when you see her insanely cute and beautiful fairies, you’ll see why we chose this book to be the debut of the Art of Bobby Chiu and Kei Acedera.

Guest Artists:
Sergio Aragonés - Mad Magazine legend of legends, creator of "Groo the Wanderer"
Gavin Ball - Great Draftsman and all around nice guy
Linda Bergkvist - No fairy book would be the same without Linda. Multi award winning artist
Kevin Dart - I had the pleasure of meeting this amazing talent in San Diego.
Kitty Fung - Our friend and Anime prodigy
Robin Mitchell - My brother from another mother. Great friend and character designer.
Justin Ridge - A true talent. It was an absolute pleasure to have Justin in my book.

Here's a peek of the cover. Drawn by Kei Acedera. Painted by me, Bobby Chiu

Hey Bobby,

The Attachment Manager is easy to miss, it's under Additional options when creating a new post. Click the Manage Attachments button and a popup window will open (try holding down CTRL and clicking if you've got a popup stopper). From there it's easy to Browse to your file and click upload. When you return to your post the filename should be listed in the Manage Attachments button.

If you edit your first post and use the Attachment Manager it will create a thumbnail for you on the thread page.

(killer pics btw)

Bobby, great to see another one out man. Can't wait to grab this one. Do you routinely do themed books like this or is it just random? Also, do you ever have a call for entries with these as well? I'd love to be a part of this in the future -
