“I have dreamed of this book for the past twenty years. A place to share many of the adventures I have been privileged to experience on my journeys around the world. It will introduce you to the creative process that began at age seven and tell the story of how I evolved to be an artist. It will give you an intimate glimpse into the world of the most exotic Beasts we are blessed to share the planet with, and reveal the challenges facing the animals living in these wild places. From journal entries, field sketches, to over 100 finished paintings this book gives you an unparalleled look into the eyes of the BEAST!" - John Banovich

“I can assure you, your magnificent book will continue to bring me many hours of enjoyment. I began looking at the sensational pictures and found I could hardly put it down."  - H. Norman Schwarzkopf, General, U.S. Army, Retired

“BEAST tells the fascinating life story of phenomenally successful wildlife artist and ardent conservationist John Banovich. This visually stunning book draws you into the artist`s world and shows it to you as he sees it, in all its heart-wrenching beauty. It is the story of a man who understands wildlife and those who love wildlife, and who has made the world a better place for both through the power of his work." - Diana Rupp, Editor in Chief, Sports Afield
