Following the success of the Cracking Contraptions Manual, Wallace has pulled the dust sheets off a further 20 of his ingenious inventions, from the Mind Manipulation-O-Matic and Bun Vac 6000 (Curse of the Were Rabbit) to the Jumbo Generator and Steam Chair (World of Inventions). Cracking Contraptions 2 again features superbly detailed cutaway drawings by Graham Bleathman, informative technical descriptions and colour photographs throughout. This time, as well as reprising his role as editor, Wallace plans to take control of the entire print production process.

Delightful black and white print of a cat signed by the renowned animal artist Mike Sibley. Framed and glazed in a complimentary dark wooden frame with cream mount.

"There are many animal artists around and it would not be fair to compare them but in Mike Sibley we have something different. After leaving Leeds College of Art in 1970 he met his wife Jenny who bred and exhibited horses and dogs. It was this that turned his talents in that direction. A professional artist now for over thirty-five years, he often spends over two hundred hours on a single drawing. Mike's work is special in its fine detail. The only tool for this is the pencil. He doesn't like colour, he says colour gets in the way.

Mike's art sells in many countries including America, Australia and Scandinavia. His first limited edition print, an edition of fifty Irish Water Spaniel prints, sold out at its Crufts release in just three and a half hours. He now rarely accepts private commissions - only when time permits and a four-year wait is not unusual. The work is stunning, make a point of looking out for his prints and original drawings. You will be impressed.
