5.0 out of 5 stars Pictures And Words, 1 May 2007

By	Sweep "SweepSneek" (UK) - See all my reviews

After expressing an interest in comic art i was given this book for my 17th birthday. I firstly would like to point out that this is proper "art" comics. If you are looking for pictures of spiderman and wolverine then i suggest you search elsewhere. Also this is NEW comic art, so no Hogarth or anything like that.

I enjoy frequently flicking through this book, as many of the comic strips are funny and clever, although some are slightly strange (and abstract). This is not a book for young kids as a fair amount of the images contain expletives and sex referances.

The layout is crisp and well organised, each artist has been given several pages over which their work has been distributed, with a small text box on the first page with a little background information. Some comic strips take up a whole A4 page, everything is well printed, bright and colorful. It lets the pictures do the talking.

As an A-level student i found this book particularly usefull in referancing other artists that worked with similar styles and techniques to the ones i had been looking at. It is a good way to break away from some of the mainstream comic artists like Lichtenstein and Hokusai. There are over 30 artists in this book and before reading i had only ever heard of about 2 of them.

I found this book both helpfull and entertaining, a good choice for anyone who is interested in the more satirical art styles or just looking for something fun to read. 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly inspiring book., 26 Oct 2009

By	Abacinated "Cheap student" (Manchester UK) - See all my reviews

An excellent resource for drawing inspiration and appreciation from some of the very best contemporary illustrators working today.

The format provides a brief biography of the artist in an interesting and insightful way pointing to methods and thought processes used when creating their works. Some of these side notes even contain an explanation of the context in which the artwork sits.

It was for me a really enjoyable read and I will be going back to it again to consider the level at which I want my work to stand.

There are numerous examples of true artistic, comedic social commentary pieces that I think will be relevant for a long time to come.

A must for illustrators artists and I would even go as far to say writers wishing to cultivate an original slant to their own work.
