    Info on Book:
    In advance of a more voluminous coffee-table book, this more concise 34 page compendium was self-published in response to numerous requests for a collection of my art in book form. I have to say that the printing is top notch, with very faithful color. Contained therein are many of the images from the HappyPencil project, as well as art work and conceptual design drawings used for many of Tool's album covers and videos. Also included are sculptural images, and as a bonus: The Thing-in-the-Box revealed! But, it's also fair to say that this little book is chock-full of 70+ images spanning about a 13 year period from 1991 to about 2004.
    Info on the Tool/Cam De Leon lawsuit:
    The lawsuit was originally filed in June 2005 with De Leon alleging he had created nearly all of the artwork for the band as early as 1991 through to the release of “Aenima” in 1996. Among De Leon‘s contributions were the “Tool Wrench”, "Smoke Box", “Ocular Orifice”, “Gnats”, "Suffocate", "ICU" and “Medicine Man”. De Leon‘s various contributions allegedly earned him the distinction of “the closet fifth member of Tool” as was posted on their official website at the time. De Leon‘s suit originally hinged on him being unhappy with what he was paid for his work and that their usage exceeded the licenses he granted them. The group had initially sought to dismiss the ten claims filed against them back in 2006 by De Leon but a judge denied the motion.
