Ransom Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 By favorite books, I mean the ones you keep as eye candy, or for reference on different techniques and methods. Or even ones that inspire you, which might be something other than a book strictly on art. You might also mention if the book is still in print. So post your favs. I'll start. I believe all of these are still in print. Anything by Nick Bantock, but especially the Griffin and Sabine series, or The Venetians Wife. Artists' Journals & Sketchbooks by Lynne Perrella - Soft cover. al.pha.bet.i.ca An A-Z Creativity Guide for Collage and Book Artists by Lynne Perrella - Soft cover. The last two books have great eye candy, but also great tips on techniques for using different mediums, and also unique ways to transfer images to a page. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you. But if you're a good navigator, a least you'll know where you were when you died.......From The Ship Killer by Justin Scott.

MadL Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I like t' do CGI, for inspiration 'n body study I have a whole lot from SQP Inc, they have...rather had (I have!) about four volumes of Pirates, also a series on mermaids too! Most costumes would be really easy t' make as well, just need a bit o' dental floss...naught even that sometimes! ~All skill be in vain if an angel pisses down th' barrel o' yer flintlock!

ns_477 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 While this has absolutely nothing of any sort to do with pyracy... my favorite book of art is <h1 class="parseasinTitle">H. R. Giger's Necronomicon</h1>the visual styles are totally amazing and many of my own works (sadly they are only collages) are of a style that may be considered "similar"... Cheers!

William Brand Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I've collected Spectrum over the years for the great variety and styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
