Artwork by Ed Parker Jr. for Mr. Wedlake's book

(artwork and text from Ed Parker Jr.'s Facebook page, 2-11-09)

This was the latest book cover that was published. It was done for a good friend Lee Wedlake, the author of this book on lessons he had with my father in American Kenpo.

The concept was that I wanted to have my fathers patch presented in a 3 dimensional point of view. Thus bringing his 2D patch to 3D life, as if to imply that this book focuses on a dimension of my father and his art not yet explored.

It was cool, cause I wanted to do a version of his patch like this for years and with this book coming to my art table it allowed me the opportunity to do this concept.

Thanks Lee
