Illusive: Contemporary Illustration And Its Context
$69.00
I like this book series.

Pros: the book has a lot of images. Some of them super super cool. Great book to browse and get ideas from. I have it in my living room to get the pleasure art gives when I want to relax.

Caveats: Some other already stolen by the masses thus, you (the Reader) may have already seen this or that before somewhere.

Summary: I own this book and I like it very much. It gives me ideas and distracts me from my day job despite the caveats I stated above. Get the whole series (3 books) and be happier.

How to be an Illustrator

Fantastically written with mountains of insightful, first-hand experiences.

I reread chapters in this book often seeing as to how Darrel not only offers great advice but reading the many interviews from successful illustrators working in today's field is indeed refreshing and eye-opening.

Ultimately, this book will be worth your time and money, but most definitely your time.
