Product Description
Product Description
How do your find an illustrator to create a piece of work?At present, there are a number of methods: looking through myriad agents' promotional books; browsing annual competition collections; trying to find that pile of unsolicited illustrators' cards you just had on your desk the other day; searching the web -- for a few hours!; or asking a colleague. All of these methods can work, but they're all time-consuming and haphazard.
What if you need someone to draw some salad on a plate with a glass of wine next to it? You could go through the above processes, and -- after a while -- you'd probably find someone to draw or paint it in the style you wanted. Or you could pick up "The Big Book of Illustration Ideas. Flip to the section marked "Food and Still Life" and find pages and pages of illustrators who can draw all manner of food in all manner of styles: pencil, crayon, watercolor, collage, and so on, and so on. A smorgasbord of illustration ideas! In fact, within these pages, you'll find the best illustrators, from all over the world, found together in one place along with all of their contact details.
For ease of reference, illustrators' work is cataloged by theme: People; Portraits; Food and Still Life; Buildings; Landscapes; Abstract Concepts; Diagrams; and Miscellaneous. Each section shows hundreds of examples to allow a quick and accurate list of illustrators suited to your needs.
Independently edited and collated, "The Big Book of Illustrated Ideas does not favor any agency, country, or style. It is simple the most accessible collection of the best illustrators' work available anywhere.
Illustrators featured include: Aaron Leighton - Adrian D'Alimonte - Alan Dingman - Alanna Cavanagh - Juliette Borda - Andrew Bylo - Anja Kroencke - Bonnie Dain - Campbell Laird - Olaf Hajek - Claudia Pearson - Dane LaChiusa - David Cooper - David Navascues - Fred Pe ault - Gordon Studer - Greg Morgan - Greg White - Heather Chontos - Izak Zenou - James Yang - Jason Tharp - Jenny Kostecki - Jenny Laden - Jo Jo Ensslin - John Coulter - Jon Cannell - Jonathan Weiner - Karen L.

To reiterate what the other reviewers have said: this books is amazing. Especially if you're planning to go into the illustration business!! Each illustration is not only accompanied by the title of the artwork, the artist name and in some cases, the illustration agency's name, but it also tells you what brief the art was done for. I really enjoyed seeing how each illustrator interpreted the briefs they were given.
