Worth the wait

Well folks, the Tenggren book got delayed a little by recent heat waves in my area and a ton of work in general. The good news is it's cooled down considerably so I'm back on the job.
I plan to try and have it done this weekend with some other new treats as well so hang it there.

By the way I'm curious out of illustrators - Mel Crawford, Gustaf Tenggren, Alice and Martin Provensen and J.P. Miller who would you like to see more of?
I have a bunch of rare stuff from each and of course a ton of lesser known artists and will keep posting randomly unless anyone really wants something or an artist in particular.
