The Stick Man's Guide to Life and Art

The Stick Man's Guide to Life and Art was originally created as a gift and memento for A level Art students leaving St.Mary's College in Wantage in 2006. The positive response to the book led to it being published in 2008 and since then, it has sold more than 1,000 copies, including 500 copies in only 6 shops. Written and illustrated by artist Francis O'Neill, it delivers straight forward and common sense advice for the various challenges of life, and is laced with humour and wit. The appeal of The Stick Man's Guide to Life and Art has far outgrown the art students for whom it was written, as its truths are relevant to everyone, young and old, and it is particularly pertinent for those starting a new venture.
A follow up book entitled The Stick Man's Guide to Love was written as a birthday present in 2010. It is also available on kindle.
