Format:Hardcover
I'm an illustration geek. I hoard books on fashion illustration, record cover graphics and the like, but for me, this book is head and shoulders above anything else currently available on the subject. The huge variety of work from illustrators working in the fields of poster design, advertising, fashion etc. is astounding, the interviews with the artists add even more inspiration. The calibre of artists is fantastic and the work is bang up to date and has left me bursting with ideas, an illustrator's must-have.
