NEW ARTBOOKS:
Derek Yaniger's new book Wildsville is a true visual feast for anyone that appreciates the 1950s UPA style. Solid drawing and design sense, along with great humour makes this book a must. Many artists try and draw in the retro style - Derek succeeds.
Sorcelleries (witches) by Guarnido is a real treat for Blacksad fans. If you're like me and wondered what his characters would look like if they weren't animals - here it is. Terrific and super appealing designs. Classic Disney style (note: Guarnido worked for Disney in Europe). No english edition is expected -but the designs are so nice, treat it like an artbook and add it to your collection. That's what I am doing.
Madagascar was far from one of my favourite animated movies, but I have to give it kuddos for a truly fun and interesting design style. It was the first 3D animated movie to use a successful graphic style in its design. This new book featuring art from the upcoming 2nd movie has tons of great drawings that highlight the cool style. Again, if you're a style reference junkie like me - you will want this book in your library.
