Illustration Now! 5

The works included are absolutely exceptional. Although, I was expecting more interviews and paragraphs. The way this book is laid out is each artist gets about two pages of (about 3-4 pieces) their work and one sentence explaining their aesthetic. So it's more of a overview than a study. But exemplary work on covering the now and the range. Definitely worth the price for a rather well-rounded tour of the illustration world as of 2014. Heller wrote a pretty good essay as a pretext. Definitely a good purchase, and now I'm looking forward to their next volume and maybe check out the 100 illustrators book. Also, the text in this book is in English, German and French. (No... that's even less actual text...) But I guess it's helpful for the Europeans to purchase this book. Oh actually a lot of artists covered are from Northern Europe (A LOT), and some from UK (London). And that kind of motivates me to work harder to represent artists from Asia and mixed (less privileged) background.

My favorite in the series

loved it!

great book

I thought the work in this publication was varied and exceptional. I may be biased however since my son's work (T. Dylan Moore) is included in the collection of 150 illustrators.

Thanks

Lovely coffee table book - bought as a gift for someone with a background in graphic design who works in advertising and is interested in illustration. Wide variety of illustration types, plenty of inspiration!

Very good collection
