Although the book counts many pages you still get the feeling you're only seeing a glimpse. That man just never stops creating, he is what he makes. Considering this you can see this book as an introduction and you just wish there was so much more work included.

"I've been envious of media artists who find their style vision early and stick to it. I call myself a generalist, but it's another way of saying 'a master of none.'"
