A few months back, I received a random inquiry about my Stream of Consciousness painting.
The inquiry was from the publisher John Wiley & Sons Canada. They were interested in licensing my painting for use in their educational textbook Visualizing Psychology Canadian Edition with an initial run of 16,000 books for students across Canada.
After a back and forth, the deal was inked. I got the painting professionally photographed and sent the big old 300 DPI Tiff file via YouSendIt.
One of the things I negotiated was to receive a copy of the book and low behold last week it arrived in all its glory.
My painting is on page 122 and 123 and heads up Chapter 5 which is called States of Consciousness.
I’m stoked!

Congrats!
Way to go Jay! That’s friggin’ sweet!
@Eben07: You were just recently on the evening news and that place the Urban Hive looked like a groovy place for the creative juices to flow. Many thanks to you for the congrats, but my friend… congratulations right back at y’ah.
@Wakchizl: I wonder if sweet is a State of Conciousness? It should be!
Jay – THAT’s a huge accomplishment, you should be stoked! A dream come true for an artist! Bask in the bliss and keep on painting!
JAY!!!! Remember the very first time I ever came to this blog I felt (maybe I even stated,) that I knew I was in the midst of something really really great here?
I was right! I was right!! ..spins around and dances.
…staggers, grinning, with extra lupine explosions in hair back to the stars…
Such awesome news. A really great painting and well worthy of publishing. Well done mate.
I am taking this course right now and to see the artist who did this picture just pop up when I was looking up a mind map is pretty cool, your art is really awesome hope have more to come
Wow, that is SO COOL. It’s one thing for people to say they like your painting and maybe even want to buy it, but for someone to put it into a psychology text book seems to me to be the ultimate in appreciating it because they understand it and use it to illustrate something vividly to the readers. Congrats! (late)
I have this book… that is quite possibly my favorite image in this book!
And I stumbled onto this page by chance.
Love it
