Ah.... I envy you... wish I live in the US too. Here in Sydney, we're not so lucky. I haven't seen or heard about any great portrait artist, in fact I haven't even seen a gallery that sells realistic art or portraiture. All the art competitions are dominated by Abstract art. It's really frustrating!


I went through every major book stores, searching for Anthony's book but got no luck. Had to ordered it online and pay another $15 for the shipping. The books's only $15, I (correction: my Mum ;) ) paid $31 and I won't get to read it until 30 June... :(
