5.0 out of 5 stars A treasure trove of surprises and sketchbook goodness, Mar 9 2009

By	Parka (Singapore) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Length:: 0:22 Mins

When I was searching for information about the book, I found a lot of positive reviews. And I really mean A LOT. It's one thing that a book is well liked. It's another when it's so well liked people are actually talking about it.

An Illustrated Life is a compilation of sketchbook pages from 50 illustrators all over the world. Each journal is packed with sketches, captions and a narrative as the artist talks about his sketchbook. At 266 pages, some of the scans are a little small if you want to read the writings. One reader I found bought a magnifying glass just to make sure every detail isn't missed.

Every page is a surprise, every page is a discovery, a glimpse of what the artists is thinking, seeing and feeling. It's the perfect book to go to when you're looking inspiration and motivation.

Most artists have their websites listed. It's another avenue for exploration. Jjust to name some, they are R. Crumb, Christoph Niemann, James Jean, Peter Ankle, Cathy Johnson, James Kochalka, Brody Neuenschwander, Chris Ware, Stefan Sagmeister etc.

Danny Gregory has published a truly wonderful book. I really love it. It's well worth every single cent.

There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great inspiration!, Jan 11 2009

By	heliodor (Alberta) - See all my reviews

I'm so happy I bought this book. When I received it I was really surprised at how large it was and to find that it's full colour throughout - a steal for the price. The artists Gregory selected are quite varied in style and prominence which I found to be very inspirational. There is a lot to look at here and I enjoyed reading about how other artists work and think when they create. I think I'll turn to this book for a little creative pick-me-up again and again. Love it!
