NEW THIS WEEK AT PULP'S ART

Hello readers again the update is running late, I've been preparing some cool books for some associates in Annecy just ahead of the international animation festival there in early June.


Still this week did yield a nice batch of new old books, if that sounds odd just keep reading and you'll discover what I'm on about.




SUCCESSFUL DRAWING BY ANDREW LOOMIS
HC 160pp Black + White
Titan Books
London's Titan Books continue their series of books reprinting the previously rare, out of print and seminal tomes of invaluable insights on how to draw by legendary illustrator Andrew Loomis.
A great many professionals have purchased the two previous books in this series from us telling us they'd only seen the work before as PDFS and they're delighted to own hard copies of these tracts.
Hopefully Titan will put Creative Illustration on their schedule soon, as this is another must have for professionals and enthusiastic amateurs.



MAD ARCHIVES #  3
HC 224pp Color Black + White
Mad
Back in the 50s EC set the standard other comic publishers aspired to, their uninhibited approach to various genres had other mediums needing to game change and break the molds to keep up.
Their vehicle for parodying the pop culture of the day was Mad and such was the genius of those original writers and artists, orchestrated by the visionary Harvey Kurtzman, that today over 50 years later Mad is still cherished for poking fun at and mocking those who otherwise might disappear up them selves!
We'll be getting Volumes 1,2 and 4 in the near future, meanwhile enjoy this wonderfully produced reprinting of #s 13 - 18 which saw Davis, Elder, Wood, etc. at the top of their game.

We got in an extensive restock of the popular Dover books of classic illustration  from the late 19th and early 20th Centuries and among the restocks were a few new releases,


ARTHUR RACKHAM'S BOOK OF PICTURES
SC 128pp Color Black + White
Dover
Another selection of illustrations from the master draftsman, full of detail and atmosphere and covering a variety of subjects and genres not all of them related to the fantasy subjects covered in previous collection of his illustrations from Dover.



500 YEARS OF ILLUSTRATION
SC 512pp Black + White
Dover
This book takes a breakneck pace to get us from Durer in Renaissance Germany to Rockwell Kent in 20th Century USA but it's a lot of fun and a lovely view along the way.
It's a great place to discover the forebears of the modern masters and to chart the evolution in style and technique even if this is a very general over view of the art form. 

So, there you have it new old books, duh, and speaking of which that Dover restock means we're brimming with wonderful books featuring artists and styles as diverse as Beardsley, Erté, Dulac, Doré, Wyeth, Kley, Ward and subjects ranging from Joan of Arc, Samurais, animal anatomy and magic carpets!


OK how about we come right up to date with art finished off in some sort of contraption thingy?


TRANSIENT
HC 212pp Color
Massive Black Studio
Justin Coro Kaufman has created this Massively Black comedy about a down and out who may just be an intergalactic appointed savior of mankind or a totally deluded derelict in need of sedation!
The Massive Black Studio is best known for designing great looking characters, places and accessories for game companies but one of their talents, Justin, decided he'd have a go at creating a graphic novel and straight out to bat he hits a home run.
So, why not join Bob bumming round down town San Francisco and saving existence in this engaging graphic novel?

Once again we'll be skipping the bank holiday to test the theory of a former statesman by work more to hopefully earn more and throwing open our doors on Monday, so if you get bored with the picnic you know where to come!
