{"product_id":"j-daniel-abel-selected-drawing-book-i","title":"J. Daniel Abel, Selected Drawing  - Book I","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs of this writing, I have executed about 10,000 drawings give or take, and those are just the ones I didnÕt burn. I suspect the impulse that drove me to this deranged level of graphic production was some form of exotic mental illness but I wonÕt explore that theory.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eRather than allow my large and very unedited heap of wood pulp to bask in useless retirement, and because it represents most of my life, I have resolved, after ruthless selection, to make something cohesive out of it. The best examples, IÕd say, are at least worthy of preservation.\u003c\/p\u003e  \n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore now, the drawings were not even presentable. Any foolish  adventurer who wanted to see a lousy drawing would have to stand on the only leg there was room for in my junk impacted storeroom and wrestle an antique metal file drawer with a flashlight in his teeth. Pulling out the good ones, well, that would have been another ordeal since  not all of my work is by any means great. Sometimes a half dozen examples may stand in for 100 similar graphics. For one reason or another roughly one noncommercial drawing in 50 made the cut for this little book, which represents my earliest graphic art.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is book  1 of  4 volumes. The rest are to be published at a later date.\u003c\/p\u003e  \n\n\u003cp\u003eFull Color, 88 pages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J.
