Product Description
Product Description
This title is a Taschen 25 - Special edition! This is a drawing delight. Following the success of "Illustration Now!", this installment presents a completely new selection of illustrators from all around the world. Whereas the first volume brought together a fascinating mix of star illustrators and brand new faces that together formed the face of illustration around the world, "Illustration Now! 2" is even more exciting, featuring illustrators from 25 countries, with styles ranging from cutting edge to traditional. Also included is a dialog between design specialist Steven Heller and German illustrator Christoph Niemann about illustration's role in the world today. This book is perfect not only for creative professionals and illustration students, but also artists and anyone with an appreciation for visual language.

This book is good for inspiration and finding out different names that are working in the illustration field today, and for the price you can not grumble, however it has nothing on ultimate illustration and illustration now 3 which i think showcases work of a higher quality, having said that there is a big difference in price so if you are looking for a cheap book in this field this might be the book for you.

I bought this book after buying the following one, Illustration Now! 3: Vol. 3, and unfortunately it wasn't quite as good. I would definitely recommend buying the third volume first but that doesn't mean that the second volume should be ignored.
Published in the format readers of Taschen books are familiar with, 'Illustration Now! v2' gives a double-page spread (sometimes more) to a number of contemporary illustrators, showcasing the best of their work and giving you a little information about their background. The book is a bit limited by its format (A5 hardcover) but it is great to use as a starting point - use the images inside as inspiration and google your favourites. It's a great value alternative to some of the more expensive art/illustration books out there and is perfect if you haven't got a specific illustrator or style in mind as it covers a wide variety.
I don't have any background in illustration and bought the book solely as a collection of 'pretty pictures' to look at (as well as inspiring possible future tattoos). It's great as a 'coffee table' style book and you can easily lose a few hours in its pages or just dip in and out as you please.
