Michael Fishel Creations book

THE MICHAEL FISHEL CREATIONS BOOK - I published my own book Michael Fishel - Creations in 2015. The task of cataloging and searching through old 8 x 10 color transpariencies and image files to find everything was both fun and exhausting. It was kind of like going back in time for me. The writing of the text was most definitely a challenge for me but with the help of my friend author Nigel Suckling editing it all seemed to come together just great in the end. The book traces my career in art from my earliest beginnings right up to the present day. It includes all of my Big O published posters as well as my other published work on calendars, jigsaw puzzles, book covers and all of my B & W book illustrations while working for Dungeon's and Dragon's in the 1980's.

Renaissance Realm-The Art Of Olga Suvorova book author Michael Fishel

THE ART Of BIG "O" BOOK was conceived and designed by me with the text written and edited by author Nigel Suckling and a foreword written by artist Roger Dean. The Art Of Big O book was a joy to work on and a true labor of love for me to produce. My own paintings were published by Big O posters UK in the early 1970's. It was a very special time for me as an artist too and I'm very glad I had that chance to share my paintings to the world during that exciting period in art history thanks to Big O. It's a great book filled to the brim with images and stories from some of the most exciting, original artists in the world whose literally ground breaking art work was printed as full color wall posters by Big O Publishing during the late 1960's and throughout the 1970's. Featured in the book are the artists Roger Dean, HR Giger, Mati Klarwein, Graham Percy, Robert Venosa, Martin Sharp, Virgil Finlay, Terry Pastor and many more. The book is available in many indie book stores and is being distributed by Diamond Comics currently in the U.S. and the U.K. It is available for purchase on Amazon.com in a hard cover, soft cover and a Kindle-e-Book.
