Mike Stilkey Exhibit

        While we were at Times Square, Causeway Bay, Hongkong, we were lucky enough to chance upon Mike Stilkey's Full of Smiles and Soft Attentions Art Exhibit.  Mike Stilkey is a talented artist from Los Angeles, USA,  who  uses a variety of mediums to paint on hardbound book covers.


 
















 
          So, if one day, you decide that you have no other use for your hardbound books, do as Mike Stilkey does and paint on them!
