John Buck resides between Montana and Hawaii. He not only works with these beautifully detailed woodblock prints, he also works with wood carving and bronze sculpture. He has shown his work extensively and a retrospective of his graphic work is currently on a national exhibition. To see this work in person would be a dream! It will be on exhibition at the Yellowstone Art Museum through January 2011, so if you're in the area, check it out.

Ok, now more of the good stuff:
