Ray Winninger is a game designer who has worked on a number of role-playing games, including the Dungeons and Dragons series and DC Heroes. From a young age, he had an affinity towards constructing complex, elaborate role-playing campaigns that made him a natural fit with game developers TSR, Mayfair Games, and West End Games. Dave Gibbons has worked in comics since 1973. Cutting his teeth on underground comics and fanzines, he became a frequent contributor to the UK anthology magazine 2000 AD, illustrating Harlem Heroes and Dan Dare, and co-creating Rogue Trooper. Since then, he has drawn and written for most comics publishers on both sides of the Atlantic. His work has encompassed Doctor Who, Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Predator, Aliens, the Hugo Award-winning Watchmen with Alan Moore, and Give Me Liberty and Martha Washington Goes to War with Frank Miller. His semi-autobiographical graphic novel The Originals won an Eisner Award in 2005, and his most recent work includes The Secret Service with Mark Millar. He is also a creative consultant for Madefire motion books and Magic Leap mixed reality technology. compositions of rare beauty. This art has its roots in the Zen Buddhist practices of mindfulness and meditation; serving as a means not just for describing wonders of nature, but as a method for training our minds to view the world in its essential grace and simplicity. This book is the product of many years of study with Ukai Uchiyama; a master Japanese calligrapher and artist. Kay Morrissey Thompson shares the knowledge she gained from this association, presenting a thorough discussion of the artist's work along with a series of practical lessons based on Mr. Uchiyama's instruction. The informative text is accompanied by over fifty illustrations, many in colour, reproducing works by Ukai Uchiyama and enabling aspiring artists to understand how each painting was created. With a smaller size and new cover, this timeless Tuttle Classic (originally published in 1960), has been reformatted for modern readers.
