As sole proprietor at Studio of Visual Arts, I have been a professional illustrator and printmaker for 35 years. My illustrative work is represented in five Louisiana State Museums, countless corporate collections and has received numerous prestigious grants. NewSouthBooks was born as a natural extension of that same artisanship. I am now producing and marketing handmade, leather bound journals of quality and distinction, each journal a unique presentation with original artwork as adornment. All leather, new or old, is hand-cut and trimmed. I use only the highest quality fine art/printmaking paper (250w), hand stitching each signature. My leather journals are truly bound books using traditional book binding materials. Adding to the distinction is the incorporation of original artwork to inside covers and often, the middle signature. On this site, you'll see many examples of work previously completed for clientele. Just find me and we can discuss making one to suit your individual needs and taste

Great in communicating and helping me pick the leather and style that I wanted! Very impressed with the final product, and couldn't be happier. Have already recommended to many other people. Cant wait to get another bible covered.

Michael was fabulous to work with and is a fine artist and craftsman. His beautifully bound pages of my wedding journal, all perfectly nestled in a beautiful custom cover, is the perfect gift for my husband to be on our wedding day. Thank you Michael!

There are not enough written (or spoken) words to describe Michael & his art. He is a true gentleman and his books are beyond "Art". I now have several of Michael's books and they are, well, 'perfect'; period. Thank you Michael - very much.
