September 2009 Archives
Danny Gregory is likely an inspiration to many artists, from graphic designers trapped in the ad world to illustrators looking for something new. His first book Everyday Matters definitely inspired and helped my own artwork. Reading the descriptions by some famous, some not so famous, artists from far and wide about their experiences and uses for sketchbooks you can tell he impacted others.
I avoided this book for months figuring it was another spin off of the previous Gregory books but I was wrong, this one contains great visual eye candy as well as interesting artists write ups.
Here are a few of the artists inside the book (with good sites).

What is it anyway?
It's a good question but maybe not the best book title (or cover for that matter). With that small rant aside, this is a rare book to find, one on illustration that does not simply cover the top 10 most commissioned illustrators in the world. That's whats nice about RotoVision, they manage to produce off key content for their design books while most other publishers continue to reshuffle the same award winning works over and over, year in and year out.
The gallery portion in the back includes a nice brief on: Serge Seidlitz, Christoph Niewmann, TADO, and of course Jeremyville.
