It only took about a million years, but the really gorgeous Wolverine Vs. Hulk by Leniel Yu is now out in a graphic novel format!

Long out of print, this new hardcover collects 2 of the Marvel 1602 sequals - new world has been out of print for at least a couple of years, so if you were curious about it, now is your chance to read it for yourself.

James Gurney Imaginitive Realism on Tuesday

James Gurney is the incredible artist behind the awesome book series Dinotopia. If you haven't already seen it, do yourself a favour and get yourself a copy. The gadgets, the machinery and of course the dinosaurs are fantastic, but for my money the really cool thing about the books is the amazing locations/layouts he created.

If you are studying animation and want layout reference - you need to check out these books. I have met a lot of young artists who discount storybooks because they have 'words in them'. I know this sounds dumb, but many of these young artists fail to realize the goldmine of ideas and design styles to be found in what would normally be classified as 'Children's books' . To be fair, there are many smart young artists which are already finding inspiration in books like Dinotopia, I just wish there were more.

Now James Gurney has a new book showing techniques and how to - It will be arriving at the Labyrinth on Tuesday. I personally, can't wait for Tuesday.

Check out James's blog here.

art books 1930s-1990s

Just picked up a huge collection - 1 copy each of about 800 books dated 1930s to 1990s. Most of them are art related - about 300 are now in shop and many more will be added tomorrow Saturday October 3rd. Since there is just 1 copy of each, when they're gone, they're gone. Books include topics such as drawing, painting, famous painters, calligraphy, design and more. Stop by and have a look.
