My copy of 2010's Mosaic Art Now arrived this morning and I am blown away by it. Nancie Mills-Pipgras, Bill Buckingham and Michael Welch pulled out all the stops and took what was once an arts publication and turned it into a coffee table book. Congratulations on a job well done guys.

I wrote an article for this problem and it is a actual thrill to peer my name in a print guide again. My article is a profile of Yakov and Yulia Hanansen, who're father and daughter in addition to being distinguished mosaicists. It was a real thrill to fulfill them and to hear them communicate about their art. They are interesting, passionate, gifted people and I hope I did them some justice in my profile.
Master Mosaicist Yakov Hanansen seems out at the arena from his studio at the 14th ground of an business constructing in Midtown Manhattan. As he works on his modern commission, Yakov is surrounded by using 20 years of his very own mosaics and they're made exceptional by way of the morning mild streaming through the huge home windows. His work tells the story of an artist devoted to defying lifestyle as he brings each splendor and idea to the sector.And that's all you get. If you'd like to read the rest of that article or any of the other 100 plus pages of this magazine you're going to have to buy a copy. Sorry, but arts organizations need every dime they can get, this year more than any.
