ILLUSTRATORS QUARTERLY #36
Highly Recommended. Thomas Fluharty, one of the usual gang of idiots from MAD magazine during the 1990s, talks about his artwork and shows us his caricatures, including this issue's cover. Arantza Sestayo, Spanish realist and illustrator, is our favorite feature — beautiful women and fairies, Game of Thrones, and Dejah Thoris. Nearly as exciting, for comic fans they examine fine-line illustrator José Luis Salinas and his Cisco Kid, plus never-before-seen color western paintings. Caran d'Ache, the French master of humor and pen & ink, whose work influenced many comic strip artists from the 20th century, is also examined. Book Palace, 2022....More.

His sometimes disturbing, poetic oil paintings blend Surrealism with the Spanish Baroque. 2019, Unicorn. Note: Copies have light scuffing on the corners and spine....More.

Its images are regularly used in TV documentaries, films, books and magazines, and for marketing and advertising, museum display, greeting cards, clothing design and merchandise. This explains briefly how the picture library came into being.

I am sad to share the news that James Bama passed away last Sunday. He was a wonderful and kind man who I will miss...Besides being a legendary painter, he was a real life Superman. - John Fleskes

DAVE STEVENS' THE ROCKETEER Artist's Edition
New Printing. Our Highest Recommendation. In 2009 when IDW launched its award-winning Artist's Edition series, The Rocketeer was the inaugural release, winning a coveted Eisner Award.

Plus six covers including one previously unpublished and one with a topless Bettie that was censored when published! IDW, 2022. ...More.

TERADA KATSUYA SKETCH
Recommended. A giant collection: 500 pages of Katsuya Terada's "Rakugaki" sketches and illustrations. A pioneer who is always seeking new ideas and motifs, he reminds me sometimes of Moebius, but he's all his own artist. Many nudes. Although most illustrations in this collection have appeared in Terada's previous international exhibitions (e.g., Giant Robot in Los Angeles), never before has any book collected so many of his Rakugaki. This is the best and most comprehensive collection of Terada's pencil sketches.PIE, 2022. Mature Readers....More.
