“What makes an artist? You could ask this question to many an artist and get a different answer but underlining most would be the one word - life. And in this book Ian Mackenzie gives an honest account of his and how it effects his art. A truly inspirational story of someone following his dream.”
Gareth Hughes Broadcaster and Journalist
"With self- deprecating charm and wry humour, Ian chronicles events in his life which provided the inspiration for his art: - A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. It is part autobiography, part art guide, part glossy coffee table book. An innovative showcase for his prodigious photorealistic artwork."
