Advertising Now! TV commercial Julius Wiedemann (Editor)
Taschen 3822840297 / 9783822840290 Mixed Media New
From Apple and Audi to public awareness, the very best of today's television ads Though most of us change the channel or make a trip to the bathroom during commercial breaks, there are actually ads out there that are more like thought-provoking short films than the pushy, one-dimensional, in-your-face ads we know and hate. Whether it's an ad for the latest Nike sneaker or to raise awareness about the hazards of speeding, a commercial has lot to communicate in under a minute, and it takes the sharpest creative minds to figure out how to execute ads that are entertaining and even eye opening while getting the message across. This guide rounds up the best commercials of recent years. Chapters are organized by subject, such as socio-political, food and beverage, cars, technology, and media, and individual entries include screenshots, art director briefings, pre-production material (such as sketches and storyboards), and a fact sheet listing technical details. This book is a must-have not only for creative professionals, but also for anyone who's interested in inventive commercials and what goes into making them. All ads featured in the book are on the included DVD.

Wolfgang 1929133863 / 9781929133864 Paperback New
Airbrush Bible offers something for anyone interested in the art of airbrushing. Whether your goal is reality flames on a motorcycle tank, or a three-dimensional eagle in mid-pounce, this new book from Wolfgang Publications offers how-to sequences done with some of the best names in airbrushing. To teach skulls, there's Vince Goodeve. For Pin-ups, Tom Nguyen walks the reader through a 20 page start-to-finish sequence. For reality flames with extra punch, Steve Wizard takes the stage, explaining both the colors and the sequencing. Airbrush Bible also offers help spraying on various substrate with different media. T-Shirt artists will find advice on the best paint to use, and how to give the image longevity. Anyone working with hot rods and motorcycles needs to know how much to over-reduce urethane-based paints. Hobby painters need to understand acrylic paints, as well as the new water-borne colors. Each chapter is a one-on-one seminar that takes the reader from the first sketch to the finished product. Leah Gall explains all the basic strokes needed to create nearly any image, and Susan Heidi demonstrates how multiple, thin layers of transparent paint create believable skin tones and a life-like effect. In total, Airbrush Bible provides the reader with fourteen chapters, each one offering a complete painting sequence and an interview with the artist. Learn first hand why one artist uses watercolors while another prefers acrylic paints. Or why some artists never use the color black, and instead prefer a dark purple or violet. This new book from Wolfgang Publications is a compendium of subjects, paints and techniques; Airbrush Bible is the one how-to book any airbrush artist needs on his or her shelf.

Anatomy Of Sorrow Daniel Martin Diaz
LaLuz de Jesus 0867197684 / 9780867197686 Hardcover New
Anatomy of Sorrow is the latest monograph by prolific and influential artist Daniel Martin Díaz, exploring 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, both in subject matter and in the ancient egg tempera and resin oil painting technique, the works of self-taught artist and classically trained composer Daniel Martin Díaz possess a sincerity that foregrounds his deep devotion to revealing a higher meaning through painstaking craftsmanship. Through his application of a limited palette on distressed wood, his handmade wooden frames, and his expressive use of Latin text, Díaz's images thrust us into another time and place.

Discrepancies Alex Gross
Gingko Press 1584234261 / 9781584234265 Hardcover New
Frederick Douglass, a Centaur, serpents, Christ, and an assortment of mythical beasts are just some of the characters that appear within the world of Alex Gross's lush, incongruous paintings in Discrepancies. Historical figures coexist with fashionable men and women, often on their cell phones, and frequently set in landscapes that simultaneously invoke both Gothic Flemish Art and the metropolitan, billboard-infested urban advertising that we find inescapable in our world today. Gross's highly involved, figurative oil paintings defy categorization: his unusual hybrids, for all their dreamlike mystery, powerfully convey universal themes such as Love and Despair, Globalization and Consumerism, Communication and the lack of it. This slim, oversized edition catalogs the best of his groundbreaking work over the last four years, including several pieces from his Autumn 2010 exhibition at the Jonathan Levine Gallery in New York.

Inspired by the complex expressions and raw emotions revealed by faces, Barr invokes the human condition, creating a multitude of personalities ranging from extraordinarily common to extreme and fantastic.

Expressed in the intricate details of each image, Barr presents a delicate mix of texture, color and line typical of his loose but carefully executed style.

Frezno Tony Stamolis (Photographer), Terry Allen (Introduction)
Process 1934170046 / 9781934170045 Paperback New
I love this book. It's all in here and the heart of it is Tony's big true eye. He got it . . . the oddness meanness beauty and soul of this sad hilarious fractured place. Viva Fresno.-Terry Allen The central California teenage wasteland is the bane of its inhabitants and the butt of a thousand late night TV jokes. It comes in next to dead last in surveys of cities with a high quality of life. Though it's one of the most ethnically diverse communities in the country with a large population of Basques Hispanics African Americans Vietnamese and Armenians Fresno is also a killing capitol home to low-riding cholos empty buildings and dope drops. It is also the birthplace of the lauded young photographer Tony Stamolis whose fascination with his strange hometown provides a disturbing hilarious and poignant insider's view of post-suburban American badlands and its inhabitants.

Gary Panter: Cola Madnes Gary Panter
PictureBox 097941539X / 9780979415395 Hardcover New
Legendary underground cartoonist Gary Panter's comics are typically anarchic and fun but they also delve deeper. Drawn in 1983 printed in 2001 and released here for the first time Cola Madnes stars Jimbo Panter's enduring punk everyman sharing billing with a cast of idiosyncratic characters including Bob War; his calamitous brother Uncle Garcia; a smart-talking dinosaur and beleaguered guardian in a bathrobe; and Kokomo a native in an unspecified tropical land colonized by oil companies. The delightfully inane story offers a selection of Panter's themes: Humanity's troubled relationship with nature and technology; the tension between restraint and the uncontrollable urge; family relationships; and Jimbo's endearing comical self-doubt. Panter's black-and-white ratty line drawing style offers great economy while suggesting a broad range of graphic styles from art brut to bathroom graffiti and calls to mind the work of legendary cartoonists Jack Kirby and Osamu Tezuka.
