packed auditorium at UCLA. This captivating speech, transcribed in the first chapter of this book, offers a rare glimpse into the mind of this remarkably prolific artist and designer. The rest of the chapters in More is More bring the reader into Duquette’s private life, showing him in quiet moments in the studio with his work, at the lavish celebrity-packed parties he and his wife and artistic collaborator, Elizabeth “Beegle,” held at his Beverly Hills estate, and on his whirlwind international tours. Author Hutton Wilkinson shares many amusing and enlightening anecdotes and further illumines Duquette’s extraordinary life. More is More captures the evolution of Duquette’s work through beautiful watercolor sketches, line drawings, and gorgeous photography. And here, for the first time, are the ethereal paintings and delicate sketches by Duquette’s wife. The final chapter reveals that Duquette’s vision is alive and well as Wilkinson continues to develop the Duquette style and expand the brand across the globe.
