Customer Reviews
great book, a little simple
This is a great book of modern illustration. It does have a wide variety of styles and methods. My only complaint is that it seems to have more "simple" style art than I care for. It leaves it a little thin and insubstantial in that sense, but overall the majority more than makes up for this problem. Definately modern style, so if you aren't into that I don't recommend this.
