Randy Bishop is a character and visual development artist working in animation, gaming, and publishing. "This year's art book is full of pieces that I'm pleased with. As with many artists, I wind up with a lot of drawings, paintings, and other random tidbits that I don't like. The pieces in this book represent the little "golden nuggets" that I happened to have come up with over the course of the last year. Many of them aren't found anywhere else outside of the book, at least at the time l'm writing this. I want my books to be special in some way, so making at least some of the content exclusive makes sense to me. I hope you enjoy it."
