MAGIC RITE OF DRAWING Art & Technique Signed
Signed! Our Highest Recommendation. By Thomas Haller Buchanan. This is the second self-published, Kickstarter art book of Buchanan's and it's once again a joy to see. Here's what Michael Kaluta said in his introduction to Buchanan's first book, Faces, Figures, Fantasies and it's still spot on here: "There is a magic effect to THB's portraiture...THB applies his knowledge, his insights, and his ability to present worlds unseen to everything he creates. Though he has pulled in influences from everywhere, he is no copyist. THB hands forward the authenticities garnered during his studies [of past illustation masters], giving them to the world via his art..." Buchanan, 2017...More.

Statues

 
FRED MOORE GIRL Series 2 Seasons Autumn Statue
Numbered & limited, 100! Recommended. Sculpted by Kent Melton. Based on the highly sought-after “Freddie Girls,” pin-up babes drawn by Fred Moore in the 1940's. They were mostly nude (thus sought-after by the male horndogs at the studio), and they utilized all of Moore's talents for fluidity, charm, appeal, and great posing. Only glimmers of them got to the screen (“All the Cats Join In” in Make Mine Music, the centaurettes in the Pastoral Symphony section of Fantasia), but they were so well-known and admired by fellow artists, they are as much a part of animation history as his  classic Disney work.
