Springfield Business Journal_2020-01-24

Special thanks to SBJ Associate Publisher Marty Goodnight for sharing his work, “City of Stories,” for the cover of this book. Goodnight says he uses his artwork as an internal dialogue to better understand himself and the world around him. In his professional and personal life, he aims to ignite new ideas through a different level of thought. Goodnight applies a quiet and thoughtful, yet irreverent approach to his art. He enjoys the repetition of similar subject matter, explored in different styles and concepts. Each piece reaches a distinct area of conflict, which is what he describes as his favorite aspect to the artistic process. Many pieces are related to one another and represent different chapters of his thoughts. Together, they tell a story. COVER ART Marty Goodnight Your Everything In Real Estate.
