About me:

Now preparing for our Touring Millennium Shakespeare art Exhibition to celebrate London2012 Olympics. - A Large format exhibition of selected artwork from the Millennium Shakespeare series is proposed for summer 2008. Further details will be announced in due course.

Today's art is from the amazing Artist, Paval Tartarnikov from Belarus to whom I owe a great debt and hopefully I can repay him one day. His work is unique working in minature and extremely fine detail using classical ideas in composition. Pavel was commissioned fo 'King Lear', for the Millennium Shakespeare series of books using Gouache and mixed colours. Pavels work is an inspiration and I truly value his work.

Background art is by Pavel Tartarnikov, Belarus.

The United Kingdom has won the Olympic bid for 2012. The Millennium Shakespeare has applied to show art from the series in the cultural arena and there is intended to be a celebration of Shakespeare as part of the cultural contribution. MILLENNIUM SHAKESPEARE NEEDS CONTINUOUS FUNDING URGENTLY SO ALL THE ART CAN BE COMPLETED BEFORE 2012. ALL CONTRIBUTIONS ARE WELCOME FOR THIS HISTORICAL EVENT. SPREAD THE WORD PLEASE. THERE WILL BE A BOOK OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT PREPARED FOR ALL THOSE WHO CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMLETETION OF THE WORLD ART FOR EXHIBITION. THANK YOU FOR YOU SUPPORT.

Part of the beauty of this series of books is the fact that each set of art in each book is also painted, by a different artist from a different country worldwide and also in different mediums, from oils, Gouache, Acrylics, Water colours, pencils and more, each artist has given an expression of their artistic appreciation of Shakespeare's works and their own culture within the art to celebrate the Millennium Shakespeare.

You can find my books on sale at good book stores everywhere and at the Royal Shakespeare Company, Stratford, England. http://www.rsc.org.uk

Please take your time and review some of the beautiful artwork which has taken over 10 years to produce.

The aim of the Millennium Shakespeare is to re-introduce Shakespeare in a beautiful and exciting way.

There will be 228 works of ART in the complete series. The largest single collection of art for Shakespeare in one project ever!

You can view and buy the books at

With the recent success of the release of the Millennium Shakespeare April 2006 at the Royal Shakespeare Company, Stratford and Bologna Book fair in Italy the Millennium Shakespeare, abbreviated to MS on here, has sold over 2,000,000 copies of the released titles.

MS is a phenomenal success and the MS is likely to become the definitive version of a modern introduction in Prose, complimented with art from 38 artists worldwide.

Keeping up with demand has been difficult with up to 9 new titles released each year from 2006 until the entire MS canon is published.

The MS series was created by author Michael J. Stewart from Suffolk in England and has been a work in progress for about 12 or more years. The original idea came back in 1985 while studying Shakespeare in preparation to attend one of the 12 accredited acting schools in the UK. Michael was offered a place at the Guildford School of Acting and Dance and accepted the place during 1989. Michael began the series full time in 1996.

Edited by Jeffrey Kahan (Ph.D. Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham); Assistant Professor, University of La Verne.

It is expected that the MS series will be completed within about 4 years. In addition to adapting the entire canon into modern prose, Michael's idea was to commission artists from 38 countries, each artist to paint a series of art representing each title, thus having a world collaboration of art and literature. Each artist offers an expression of their own culture while representing the philosophical values within each story.

The first three titles which have sold over 2,000,000 copies worldwide are; King Lear, The Merry Wives of Windsor, The Winter's Tale

If you wish to write to me to discuss anything relating to the Millennium Shakespeare please do so.

I will be setting up a blog for all those who are interested in the arts, literature and culture.

I have one daughter and she is currently studying at college.
