The voice of a younger generation of visionary and psychedelic artists rings loud and clear in this compilation of Chris Dyer's works from 1979 to 2010. A Peruvian artist living in Canada, Dyer's globetrotting, multi-cultural, spiritual adventures and discoveries are referenced in hundreds of images of his work including paintings, sculptures, sketches, skateboard graphics, murals, graffiti, and more. Layered in multiple levels of color and creativity, this non-stop, hyper-visual experience reveals the development of an artist who has pushed his craft from doodling wrestlers and street gang warriors to unfolding soulful skate art, gritty graffiti, and lush visionary canvases. The constant promoter, Dyer's positive brand and aesthetic is infectious and his charismatic nature will win you over, over and over again through his images and prose. This art book is ideal for aspiring artists; fans of street art, visionary, and psychedelic art; and collectors.

Discover the happiness benefits of putting brush to paper with a guide that puts judgment aside and “encourages simple enjoyment of painting” (Library Journal). Meditative, peaceful, and calming, watercolour painting offers a sense of control and self-worth to everyone, with no judgment or goal beyond the joy of painting itself. This book shows you how to calm and enhance your outlook through the movement of brush on paper. Master artist Jean Haines leads you through the journey, putting the emphasis on the joy of play rather than on pressure to perform or produce—and showing you how to wipe away your worries with the soothing, gentle strokes of watercolour paint. “Starting from the premise that everyone can paint, Haines frees readers of the goals and expectations of end results, and encourages simple enjoyment of painting. Open-ended, detailed exercises guide readers through experimenting with paint to gain a sense of control; to relieve stress; to escape; or to be in a better mood. The emotional and psychological properties of color are discussed as are obstacles to creativity and happiness. . . . [a] unique blend of self-care and expression.” —Library Journal

When most of motivational literature are professing how to succeed, win and be rich, this book emphasizes on how to live a pleasant and satisfactory life. The book aims to preach that it is the foremost duty of one to love himself first, because if you do not love yourself you cannot love others. If you are not at top, you are certainly not a loser because God always has a plan B for your welfare. The zest of the book conveys that one must first appease himself and it is important to be satisfied than to be successful.
