The 201 abstract card panels, rendered in colored pencils, were born out of an ongoing daily card practice between Scott Cannon and his daughter. The collection is preceded by an essay from the artist delving into his own artistic journey and illuminating the ways art and family mix, sometimes over generations.

Scott’s work is varied. From the starkly simple to the endlessly tangled, this collection is full of surprises, and yet is grounded in daily practice, an honest journaling without words.

This collection could be useful for artistic reference or inspiration. Specifically, the artist investigates the application of line, color and the illusion space in their raw forms, without focusing on any specific or concrete subject.

This book is for anyone who loves the artifacts born of an artistic life and who knows that life is built one day at a time.
