HARDCOVER VERSION OF THE CLASSIC BOOK ON ROBERT WILLIAMS' WORK. A reprint edition of the classic book of Robert Williams paintings, drawings and comics. This edition is enhanced with newer, more vibrant and accurate color images. This hardcover edition has a faux leather cover and debossed and tipped in cover imagery as well as foil stamping features. This book is the first to featuring the amazing artwork of Robert Williams, containing an overview of Williams's early work until 1979. T-shirt designs, comics, posters, and all paintings are accompanied by a text commenting on them and introducing Mr. Williams to the public. In the late 20th and 21st century diverse forms of commonplace and popular art appeared to be coalescing into a formidable faction of new painted realism. The phenomenon owed its genesis to a number of factors. The new school of imagery was a product of art that didn't fit comfortably into the accepted definition of fine art. It embraced some of the figurative graphics that formal art academia tended to reject: comic books, movie posters, trading cards, surfer art, hot rod illustration, to mention a few. This alternative art movement found its most congealing participant in one of America's most opprobrious and maligned underground artists, the painter, Robert Williams. It was this artist who brought the term 'lowbrow' into the fine arts lexicon, with his ground breaking 1979 book, The Lowbrow Art of Robt. Williams. It was from this point that the seminal elements of West Coast Outlaw culture slowly started to aggregate. Williams pursued a career as a fine arts painter years before joining the art studio of Ed 'Big Daddy' Roth in the mid-1960's. And in this position as the famous custom car builder's art director, he moved into the rebellious, anti-war circles of early underground comix. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

Anatomy of Sorrow explores a new depth of symbolism, mysticism and surreal iconography depicted in paintings, drawing, and prints. Drawing from old masters Jan van Eyck, Pieter Bruegel, and Hieronymous Bosch, the works of self-taught artist and classically trained composer Daniel Martin D?az possess a sincerity that foregrounds his deep devotion to revealing a higher meaning through painstaking craftsmanship. His handmade wooden frames and expressive use of Latin text, thrusts D?az's images into another time and place. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

Beautiful new hardcover edition of Barefoot Gen Volume Nine! Striking new design with special sturdy binding. Barefoot Gen is the powerful, tragic, autobiographical story of the bombing of Hiroshima and its aftermath, seen through the eyes of the artist as a young boy growing up in Japan. The honest portrayal of emotions and experiences speaks to children and adults everywhere. Nakazawa's manga illustrates the true impact of nuclear weapons when used against a civilian population. It is vital reading for people of all ages, and especially for today's youth. By keeping this tragedy in our collective consciousness, we can strive to never repeat it and guide humanity towards a course of peace. Barefoot Gen Volume Nine ? 'Breaking Down Borders' ? Gen continues to confront one setback after another -- the loss of his home, the death of a friend -- when a chance encounter gives new direction to his life. An impoverished but talented artist takes Gen under his wing and teaches him to paint. Inspired by the artists assertion that art has no borders, Gen vows to become an artist himself, and takes a job as apprentice to a local poster painter. Despite merciless bullying from his boss and the older apprentices, Gen perseveres in the pursuit of his new calling. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

by Yusaku Hanakuma As this horror-comedy manga begins, Fujio and Mitsuo, two blue-collar factory workers dream of training in martial arts overseas and become famous. When they accidentally kill their overbearing boss, they bury him at a man-made garbage mountain known as Dark Fuji, where tons of rotting garbage have been contaminated with industrial waste which, naturally, transforms the bodies of the dead into ravenous, flesh-eating zombies! Fujio and Mitsuo try their best to survive in this horrific new landscape, but the hapless pair become separated after an idiotic mistake involving potato chips and a stray dog. Originally serialized in the cutting-edge magazine AX. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

(W/A) Joe Ledbetter Influenced by classic animation, graphic design and daily life, Joe Ledbetter's art is many things. Light-hearted in its approach, he often combines cute and cuddly creatures with unfortunate, albeit humorous, situations. With emphasis on the subversive and absurd, these scenarios are all too familiar, questioning our tendency of taking life and ourselves too seriously. Creatures of Habit offers a look at Ledbetter's unique and original painting style during the first five years of his career (2003 - 2008). The book is arranged chronologically, and throughout the book Ledbetter includes his favorite paintings from his many solo exhibitions, themed group art shows, collaborations with fellow artists (such as Nathan Jurevicius, Luke Chueh, and Greg 'Craola' Simkins), and many pieces from private collections previously unseen by most fans.
