Going back forty-nine years to 1965, when I made a frontispiece drawing for J. Frank Dobie’s Rattlesnakes, on a weekend during army basic training in Fort Polk, Louisiana until now, I’ve contributed art to these twenty-eight books, everything from chapter drawings to dust jackets to a whole book of my work. This aspect of my career was never intended or sought out. It just sort of happened while I was painting my passions.
