Lyle's art is recognized for its realism, and at first glance his drawings are often mistaken for photographs. Lyle relates- "My favorite medium has always been pencil. Black and white by nature has a classic look and a distinct mood all its own, and pencil in particular is capable of rendering sharp detail." It's the detail that gives Lyle's art it's appeal.

Lyle's illustrations are carefully reproduced to exact specifications. To capture the wide range of pencil tones found in the original piece, the drawings are reproduced as duotones, using a select blend of inks on 110lb. archival quality acid-free cover.
