The book that you currently hold in your hands is truly something remarkable, and probably unlike anything you have ever seen before. This book represents one small portion of an art project, of sorts, based on the American Flag. Using the American flag as his inspiration, Larry Waitz, the artist behind each and every one of the designs between these pages, created 50 unique flag based designs - one design for each of the 50 states. Each of these 50 designs can be seen as the parent design of each individual chapter, and would serve as the inspiration for each union of sub-designs, which can be seen as the pages of each chapter. The intent behind this project was to honor America and her people, which is why the titles of each chapter in this book are named for the most popular American surnames, and why each union of designs is named for the most popular male and female first names in the country. After being several years in the making, Larry Waitz now believes that this collection is ready for the public eye, and he is excited to finally get the chance to share this collection with you.

Using the Star of David as his inspiration, graphic designer and geometrist, Larry Waitz has created hundreds of variations of the Star of David since the 1990s, when he was first struck with the idea to reinterpret the symbol. Since that time, Larry has created hundreds of unique and individual Star of David inspired designs - each one more intricate and impressive than the last, and each one now contained within the pages of this book. Despite being a major symbol of the Jewish faith and culture, this collection of Star of David inspired designs is intended to be enjoyed by anyone, no matter their background, with an appreciation for art, design, and aesthetics. This Star of David collection is the second collection of theme inspired art that Larry Waitz has published, the first being his American flag inspired collection; "The American Flag, Variations on the Theme," which is available at Larry's website dedicated to his American flag project, www.MyOwnAmericanFlag.com. Like the designs in his American flag book, all of the designs contained in this Star of David collection will be made available for sale online in both signed and unsigned formats at MyStarofDavid.com, and larry-waitz.artistwebsites.com
