Independent Publishing and Art Venues




We can literally create a world... where Camelot, the Roman Empire, the Wild West, Shangri-la, the Tribal Nations, Victorian England, Pharaonic Egypt, Middle Earth, the Vikings, Rustic Hawaii, the Garden of Eden, Space Cities, and Santa’s North Pole... all really exist.
We are not talking theme park. We mean Really Exist.
Creative Provinces presents a structure for creating the most enchanting communities you can imagine--a unique culture, travelway, industry, or environment--by a community of people powerfully organized as a group of private properties. And it gives hundreds of ideas, examples, and illustrations to inspire the reader to create "Communities as Art."


NEW Illume
Books
A collaboration of art and poetry by twin siblings, Valerie Haynes, and the late Vance A. Larson. Haynes has "invented" a series of new colors, which she describes with creative brilliance in philosophical imagery. Each new color is accompanied by breathtaking paintings by Larson spanning his 28-year artistic career, each suited to the philosophy of the represented color. The result is a gorgeous and thoughtful body of work that will be sought after for its beauty, depth, and originality.
Among the colors is:
