Choose Your Own Adventure "CYOA" #102 Master of Tae Kwon Do

This art was the cover of one of the first books I can actually remember reading as a child. It had a big effect on me, and for some reason stuck in my mind despite forgetting plenty of other books from that period.

I was also reminded of this CYOA book years ago when there was a meme going around using the original art from the book. (including a picture of that)

Color me surprised when I was able to track this down and buy it directly from Mr. Mattingly.

It seemed appropriate to use matting that closely matched the area around the art from the original book. This piece is a favorite in my collection now.
