Yep, my secrets and passions are in this book. Not in great quantity however.
There are plenty of secrets and passions of other artists, though. I have carried this book with me everywhere the past couple of weeks and I have read and reread it.
I have also written a review for Amazon:
While I enjoyed looking at the mixed media art in this book, I must say it is the text that I found most compelling. This is not a how-to book. There are no projects and no exercises. This book is a look into the minds of the artists themselves. We get the see the artists in their personal environments -- the inside of their heads and hearts.
After reading an earlier review, I do have to say many of the artists here have been in other books. In the Pulse of Mixed Media, I have learned far more about them than I have in those other books. However, there are MANY "new" artists here that I have never heard of before. I'm enjoying my coffee breaks from my own art studio while looking at their blogs and websites.
My only complaints: I wish there were more photographs (some artists do not have photos of their work), and I wish the book could be longer.
Hopefully Seth Apter will come out with another edition?!?Yes, I purchased my edition from Amazon. I live in a retail-challenged area so I had no choice. Remember, support your local bookseller!!!

Thanks so much Kim for being a part of the book and sharing your art! And thank you for spreading the word with your very nice review.
I enjoyed your review Kim. Still waiting for mine! I've no doubt it has reached South Africa but probably still has to wend it's way from post office to me.
