Unlock progress through doubt and uncertainty The biggest threat facing modern business is the sheer complexity of an uncertain future. That, and the fact that everyone is busy. Too busy for progress. Workplace cultures have become cursed with efficiency.

This book presents new paintings by acclaimed New York-based artist Jason Fox (born 1964), along with sketches, source material and works on paper made between 2006 and 2016. Fox paints hybrid portraits--humanoid monsters and existential figures--often posed behind a canvas, as though in the act of their own creation. In an interview with the artist Joe Bradley included in this volume, Fox describes his influences and subject matter, which range from comic books, rock icons and minimalism, to his dog, Duncan, and former president Barack Obama. Published on the occasion of Square Cave, the artist's solo exhibition at Canada gallery in New York, this book provides insight into Fox's multivalent and psychedelic studio practice.

When it comes to diet and fitness books, it's all been said and done before, but certified personal trainer and sports nutritionist Jason Fox has found a new angle for an old audience... brides who want to shape up for the big day.
