Making of the Lords book & Henry Winkler

I don't want this blog to be about sales, but an artist must earn a living. So I will sprinkle in my thoughts and opinions as what is going on in art, photography, movies and the world in general. And when I produce new work you'll be the first to see it.

This is just to follow up on my April 1st's opening blog about my new book, "The Making of the Lords of Flatbush". Here it is , hot off of the press. 

I received a wonderful note from Henry Winkler who had just received it in the mail and wrote me that he can't wait to read it. 

I am waiting to hear from Sylvester Stallone. 

I'll keep you up to date as to people's reactions. 

So far, from the editor to the publisher everyone has absolutely loved it. They found it a fun and informative read.

You can purchase the book on Amazon.com or bookpubintl.com. Also check out my website to learn more about my work and to see what other collectors have said. www.stephenverona.com and my ebay store if you wish to purchase one of my photographs.  Go to www.stores.ebay.com/Stephen-Verona. And just for a hoot, check out www.YouTube.com and punch in my name Stephen Verona in the search box. 

Tell all of your friends. Pass this along. Help promote my blog. Thank you.

May peace prevail.

New Book

Welcome to my blog. My site will deal with art, photography, and movies. 

I have been a working artist and an Academy Award nominated film-maker all of my life with a few years in the beginning where I actually held down a 9 to 5 job in advertising. 

Somewhere along the line I morphed into directing commercials, then music videos starting with the Beatles and finally feature films and documentaries. All the while I always painted and took photos, which I will share with you. 

My new book "The Making of the Lords of Flatbush" which chronicles my first feature film of the same name, is now in print. This is a must read book for anyone interested in movies, the mob, or celebrity. All told with a sense of humor and some never seen before photos of the stars. You can find it on Amazon.com or Bookpubintl.com.  

This is the film that launched the careers of Sylvester Stallone, Henry Winkler, Richard Gere and a host of others. 

I continue to serve on the Best Foreign Language Film committee of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences and will report on the wonderful and not so wonderful films that I see. 

So stay tuned. I'll be back.
