Noel Fielding's book channels the creative influences of Henri Rousseau, Roy Lichtenstein and Salvador Dali, through the comedian's strange and singular, not to say surreal mind. Hilarious and beautifully produced, the book is a visual feast which will delight and entertain Noel's millions of fans. "Growing up in the jungles of India there was no need for drawing or painting. I would sometimes arrange ants into primitive still lives or scratch out portraits onto the trunks of trees. Things changed when I was 11, a lame tiger who owned a stationery shop gave me the keys to his stock room, I would roll around in acrylic and oil pastels in reverie, licking canvases and tucking coloured pencils into my wild hair. It was here I learned how to draw and paint well enough to be accepted into Croyden Art College. There, Dexter Dalwood (Turner Prize nominee) taught me and after two years under his supreme tutelage and much hard graft he adviced me to become a comedian." Noel Fielding

Review
Fielding's visual art is not a million miles away from the disturbing world of Nabootique he and Barratt create in The Mighty Boosh and it's no surprise that his depictions of talking crocodiles, Mick Jagger and disturbing fox-men - Matt Groening meets Hieronymous Bosch - have become highly prized collectibles - Evening Standard The boy can paint. What's more, his offbeat, pop-art pictures are seriously commercial. Stylistically, it's somewhere between Henri Rousseau and Tov Jansson, creator of The Moomins - Independent

This book is a brilliant showcase of Noel's art and mind. The cover is a hardback and squishy which is a nice change from other books on the market. Please be warned though that there is a two page spread in which Noel has painted over some extremely graphic pornography which is still clearly visible so not for readers of a sensitive nature.

Surreal
Very interesting book. Filled with images which was great for me as an art student but perhaps not as good if you want a book to read. Very strange images i found it inspiring.

A bit meh
Noel Fielding is a typical celebrity artist; I'd say his work is sub Bob Dylan. This book will no doubt be adored by his legions of adoring teenage fangirls, but it's hard to... Read more
