Book To Showcase Cool Artwork On Restaurant Guest Checks

(via) Check Please! is an upcoming book of a collection of restaurant bills that have been – in myriad ways – modified by dozens of artists. Creator John Williams has launched a Kickstarter fundraising campaign to help get it made. It’s based on submissions to his art blog, Guest Checks.

I am so proud to be among the artists involved with this project and it would be a dream of mine to get this book funded and into some well deserving hands.
