Hi Friends!<br />
<br />
My second volume of Philosophers has just been reviewed in Philosophy Now, i'm including a link below. Hope you're all well.<br />
<br />
Very best,<br />

<i>"Pyke’s collection proves just how wrong Nozick was to suppose that a
picture of a person in a moment of time could not reveal a lifetime’s
worth of traits, beliefs, emotions and aspirations."</i></blockquote>
<br />
Referring to text contributed by philosophers;<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"It is revealing to compare the content of these with those in the 1993
book, as they collectively reveal a small yet steady change in the
philosophical climate. "</i></blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Philosophers could not have hoped for a better portrait artist than Steve Pyke. "</i></blockquote>

<br />
Filmmaker Nichola Bruce and I have <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1000925937/moonbug-0">started a KickStarter </a><a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1000925937/moonbug-0">project to fund Moonbug</a>, a film to commemorate the men who first stepped foot on the moon. The project is focused on an upcoming<br />
exhibition at NASA's Johnson Space Centre this November. A screening of Nichola's documentary <a href="http://www.nicholabruce.com/films/moonbug.html">Moonbug</a> will coincide with my own portraits.<br />
<br />
The film has a haunting soundtrack by leading electronic musician Matt Johnson of "<a href="http://www.thethe.com/">The The</a>"- and chronicles my odyssey to capture the pioneering astronauts in an array of outstanding profile portraits. We are hoping to also then do several screenings of the film in NYC and across the country. Please help us support the exhibition through this project. We thank you for all of your support.<br />
<br />
Best,<br />
<br />
Steve<br />
