In the past week, I've had more orders for my book, so I did a few more package sketches ...
Ken Miles - Cobra
Farina – Alfa Romeo – Silverstone 1950
When I first started selling my art worldwide, I was (and still am) absolutely thrilled.
The idea that someone shares my vision and likes my art enough to purchase that art is completely rewarding.
I was so happy that I started to do “bonus” sketches on the outside of the packages to reward my clients for their support. It had an unexpected added bonus of the couriers and postmen taking better care of the packages.
I don’t always have the opportunity to add a sketch to the package, but I try.
Here are a few of the “package” sketches I’ve done over the past couple of years …
A few weeks ago, I launched my limited edition book “Silver Clouds: The 1934 Grand Prix Season”.
I wrote, illustrated, designed and hand assemble it, and since it is my first and only book, I’ve been wondering how it would be received.
I’m strictly limiting the edition to 50 signed and numbered book/packages, and each book takes me over an hour to assemble and package.
Happily, the first reviews have come out, and they have been wonderful.
Both Sport Car Digest, and The Chicane Blog have both reviewed it:

http://thechicaneblog.com/2011/06/28/the-1934-gp-season-of-paul-chenards-silver-clouds/
With these great reviews, there has been brisk sales, with orders coming from the world over.
I’m so very glad that I did something worth doing! Please contact me at paul.chenard@hotmail.com if you are interested in purchasing a copy.
