"The World of Michael D'Orazio: Voyages in Illustration, volume one"
This book contains some of my best work I did at the University, and years after I graduated. It shows a gradual change in technique and style, from beginning to end. Half the book is color work, and the other half is black and white comic styles. It includes most of the "Freak'in Out" comics that I did, which are about some freaky looking guy with long hair always freaking out about something. There are also some really neat pictures of Trixie the Schizophrenic Girl, when she was inspired by icelandic singer Bjork. She then turned into a goth, queen of the dark.

"The World of Michael D'Orazio, volume 2, in Color"
This book represents a rebellion of thought and imagery against modern day conservative, and commercial art. In a very graphic and bold representation of the images such as day of the dead skeletons, and goblins, evil clowns, naked clown woman like on the cover. This book was not put together to bow down to the establishment of children's art, nor does it insult the intelligence of the reader, trying to coddle the minds of today. It does not want to be nice, so don't buy this if you are going to be critical of work steps over boundries. This book is in full color.

"Trixie, the Schizophrenic Girl"
Trixie the Schizophrenic girl is a book of suffering, maybe a modern portrayal of Jesus Christ, or Marqui de Sade's "Janette". Going from one bad situation to the next, it takes place in the early 80's when music was pessimistic, and somewhat negative, which often discusses suffering in the human condition or social injustice. Like "Janette", Trixie finds herself in one bad situation to the next. Besides Trixie, there are stories called "Hitler wanted to be an Artist", which is a documented case of truth, and "The Boy, the Stones, and the Tree", which is a portrait of a boy who cant avoid punishment in society, but grows immune to their attacks. "The Trees that got Mad", was all about natures revenge against humanity, etc. I hope you get to read this book, cause it is artistically one of a kind.

Hansel and Grethel Sketch Book
Sketches of the story Hansel and Grethel. It all started at the University, where the artist concentrated his energy on children's book illustration. These are all the sketches he did during my last year at school, and a year after he graduated. There are some great drawings of the witch, and the woodcutter, and his wife. This is as close to a children's story the artist will get.
