Being a student, I bought this book to help me with my graphics course. It is full of amazing contemporary illustrations carefully selected to complete a great book. Many types and varieties of pictures in the book help to create a very helpful collection that will give any artist inspiration after taking even the quickest glance. Great book, buy it.

One of the most inspiring things I have seen or read. It surpassed expectation having read/flicked though other art books that are similar. It's a story of people that all have their own unique style and voice - or rather those that will spend a lifetime looking for it. What was most important was the artist's own input/description which made it all very personal and... special I suppose.
If you are an art/graphics student go and get this book now. If you are anyone go and get it.
I'm quite tempted to tape this to my body at art school as it's so useful. It wouldn't be the strangest thing to happen there...
