IN THE WORKS:
Benjamin Knox is developing several fine art books. Benjamin has a meticulous eye for detail and accuracy; therefore the completion of each book project may take years. The following projects are currently in the works. To be notified of book releases please fill out our Guest book. 1) AGGIELAND, U.S.A.  Foreword by 41st President George Bush Introduction by Texas Governor Rick Perry Benjamin Knox '90 is a graduate of Texas A&M University and has been working on Aggieland U.S.A. for almost two decades! This definitive book captures the spirit, traditions, and history of Texas A&M University through Benjamin's fine art and photography. It also showcases vintage photographs and maps from private photo albums and archival collections, some dating back to the late 1800's. Accompanying the images are Benjamin's colorful accounts and research, and his personal interviews with Aggies who have shaped and experienced the history and traditions of Texas A&M, making the book a very concise, artistic, and personal overview. A special signed and numbered limited edition boxed set (book and art print) will also be available. It will be one of the most collectible Aggie items of all time. "Aggieland, U.S.A. is a moving tribute to the unique, enduring spirit of the Aggie Family. It captures the raw emotion, and sense of oneness, that pervades the student experience at Texas A&M. For two decades, Benjamin Knox '90 has captured the Spirit of Aggieland like no other artist. And this collection is truly the culmination of his years of splendid work. I recommend it to every member of the Aggie Family, or to those who have ever come in contact with a graduate of that famed institution, and asked the age-old question, 'why are those Aggies so unique?' Benjamin Knox has completed a masterpiece. One day I hope it will be as prevalent in every Aggie household as the 12th Man Towel and old, well-worn editions of the Aggieland." - RICK PERRY '72 GOVERNOR OF TEXAS 
2) DEEP IN THE ART OF TEXAS A Fine Art Book by BENJAMIN KNOX Benjamin Knox is a native Texan that was raised in the pioneering atmosphere of his family's horse ranch outside of Lubbock, Texas. He moved to College Station in 1986 to attend Texas A&M University and earned a degree in architecture. He has since thoroughly explored, researched, and painted the many diverse facets of the great state of Texas. Deep in the Art of Texas is a book that captures the spirit and history of Texas through fine art, photography, and personal accounts. 3) THE COLLEGIATE TOP 50: The Most Spirited Universities in the U.S.A. A Fine Art Book and Traveling Exhibit by BENJAMIN KNOX Since 1988, Benjamin Knox has been on a quest to capture the spirit, traditions, pageantry, and architecture of universities through fine art and photography. Benjamin will portray many universities, but only 50 will be selected for THE COLLEGIATE TOP 50. Benjamin has researched universities from the University of Washington to the University of Miami, and everywhere in between. He has been on the sidelines collecting research material as part of the media for hundreds of collegiate football games. This is truly a lifework. 4) LANDSCAPES  A Fine Art Book by BENJAMIN KNOX Landscapes by Benjamin Knox will be part of a book series and will actually have a different trademarked name that will not be released until published. Each book will have a different theme that focuses on promoting the importance and spirit of our environment and unique places through fine art, photography, and personal accounts. Benjamin travels the globe, experiencing and capturing places that are exuberant with spiritual and natural harmony. His goal with this collection is to educate and inform others of the importance of our environment and nature.
