Through Brandstudio Press and now Trinquétte Alberto has been providing new and established talents with a great platform for getting their work into print

Looking for some amazing images of horrific creatures and terrifying monsters? You need not look beyond this book by Jason Felix, he designs for the movies, and his forte is monsters and he really understands creepy and eerie.

MENTON3

Finally this art is presented here in this co production between Trinquétte, Imaganism Studio and Pulp's Books, it's taken a while to get this book to market but the wait has been worth it!

Finally,

NEWS FROM PULP'S ART SEPTEMBER 12.

Hello readers here are the new titles available at Pulp's Art, a unique book shop serving the enthusiast of the best in illustration, old and new.

Here's a fellow Brit who has been around nearly as long as I have but looking a whole let better on it, the cad!

JAMES BOND 50 YEARS OF MOVIE POSTERS

HC in Slipcase 304pp Color, Black + White

DK Adult

So James Bond 50 years young this year and as one would expect over this span of time he's endured mixed fortunes, weak martinis, fashion faux pas, dud puns, misogyny and a small weapon in the - column but fast cars and faster gals, along with those outrageous stunts on the + side.

This book celebrates JB's career in the poster and lobby cards which enticed and greeted cinemas goers down the years.

They're all here, the good, the bad and the ugly, smoldering Sean, transient George, smirking Roger, irate Tim, sneering Pierce and determined Dan.

The quality of the posters are as mixed as the quality of the films, both reflecting prevailing fashions of the time but those from arguably the golden age, before the safari suits and the spiteful killing of unarmed women, were illustrated by some top draftsmen such as Renato Frantini, Robert McGinnis, and Frank C McCarthy. 

Even some from the following era of Roger Moore were wonderfully crafted by McGinnis, Bob Peak and Dan Goozee until photographic images became the order of the day.

The book boasts great reproduction of the art for all the films produced by the Broccoli family and is fairly comprehensive, it also features rare sketch and concept art, which for hard to fathom reasons never went into production. 

It also contains some oddities, including art from Asian posters, images from the misguided beatnik version of Casino Royal with Sellers and Niven both playing the lead role and Connery's return to the role in Never Say Never Again (Ever).

This Autumn will see the release of Skyfall and frankly it looks like it's going to be a cracker, so why not whet your appetite with this intriguing book.

From the big to the small screen now where we meet one of TV animation's best character designers in,

SILVER CHARCTER DESIGN PORTFOLIO

Stephe has been an animation pro since 1997 and is the artist behind such hit shows as Kim Possible and Clerks.

In this book for big pockets you'll find a little bit of everything Stephe packs into his impressive arsenal, portraits, caricatures, life drawing, pin-ups and animals, all drawn in Stephe's spontaneous and fluid style.

Two best buddies, one from comics and animation and the other a regular comicbook artist, decided to share book space just as they share a stand each San Diego Comic Con, what Sean - Cheeks - Galloway and Ryan Benjamin have in common is talent and passion.

TABLE TAFFY # 1 COMICS

HC 104pp Color

Yes the cover isn't giving a whole lot away is it? I'll give you a couple of interior pages in a moment, what you need to know is this book has significant chunks of comic stories, Sean serves up a Bastion 7 and Gumshoes 4 Hire cross over, while Ryan heaps on another installment of his apocalyptic online graphic novel Pancretia.

Now for those pages and first up is a slice of Sean's,

and here's a helping of Ryan's,

OLD & NEW - SORT OF - AT PULP'S ART

Hello readers and welcome to the first post of what should be an exciting month for Pulp's Art.
I shan't tempt fate by banging on about possibilities so please just keep dropping in on this site.

So let's get this week's road test of new arrivals here at Pulp's Art under way with some models recalling a bygone era of wonderful illustration.

ILLUSTRATORS # 1

SC 96pp Color, Black + White

Book Palace Books

Book Palace publisher Geoff West is an admirer of Dan Zimmer's excellent quarterly publication "Illustration", which celebrates vintage American Illustration, it's hardly surprising then that there are parallels between it and Geoff's brand new publication dedicated to vintage European Illustration, "Illustrators".

So, one shouldn't think of these two wonderful publications as competing with one another but more as companions.

The first issue of Illustrators puts the focus on Denis McLoughlin's pulp illustrations, UK comic mainstay Ian Kennedy and from across the channel there are pieces on Spaniard Angel Badia Camps and the fancifully monickered Frenchman Cheri Herouard.

It's an auspicious debut for a title with a lot of potential and from a team with excellent knowledge and contacts, we're looking forward to subsequent issues.

ART OF DENIS McLOUGHLIN

HC 272pp Color limited to 950 copies

Book Palace Books

So, here's a highly plausible hypothesis, having read Illustrators with its examination of Denis McLoughlin's art you're intrigued to know more about this fabulous British illustrator, what's to be done?

Well here's the remedy an in depth book looking at the artist and with lots of reproductions of his work.

Post War Britain was a pretty dreary place, certain parts of the country were being restored after extensive bombing, food was rationed and Brits were having to come to terms with the evidence of the war, of a new world order and our reduced standing among the nations.

In this context it's hardly surprising our gaze turned westwards to the seductive haven of glamour and abundance, America.

From the culture of the pioneer west to racy pulp and crime stories, Europe had an insatiable appetite for it all and Denis McLoughlin was some how hard wired to what visually gripped us about these genres.

In this book you find hundreds of his illustrations of western heroes and sensational detective stories.

DAVID COLMAN'S DOODLES III

HC 142pp Color, Black + White

David Colman

Ace animator David Colman, yes the one who won an Emmey, is back with a whole heap of fabulous drawing from his sketch book.

Some of the pieces featured in this book were displayed at his show with Craig Elliott at Galerie Daniel Maghen here in Paris a year or two back.

David is a versatile artist, both in technique and in subject, sure we know him best for his animal caricatures but there are many more strings to his bow as this book gives testament to.

David's excellent Art of Animal Character Design will very soon be sold out but Doodles II and Animal Character Design Grizzly Bears are still available HERE!

SIMONE BIANCHI  2012 SAN DIEGO SKETCHBOOK

SC 39pp Color, Black + White limited to 600 copies

Simone Bianchi

Marvel's Italian maestro offers up his annual peek at his creative process and for those of you yet to be acquainted with Simone's work then be prepared for a rich mix of Italian classicism and American dynamism.

As well as turning out some amazing work for Marvel, Simone's been producing design for Hollywood and becoming a dad!

PERSONA 4 OFFICIAL DESIGN WORKS

SC 192pp Color, Black + White

Udon Entertainment

All the behind the scenes visual stuff you could want for the concluding installment of the ground breaking persona game, with lots of art from Shigenori Shoejima and creator interviews about the whys and wherefores of making the whole thing.

Last and if you attend church regularly then certainly least is this book about tea time for swingers, why its,

SEXYTIME

HC 96pp Color, Black + White

Fantagraphics Books

Supposedly there was once a golden age of pornography in the USA, that was age by the way, before AIDS rose its ugly head along with the attendant loons declaring it God's rather harsh judgement on promiscuity.

Yes back in the 70s  - ahem - "adult" films attempted to entertain as well as stimulate and this book celebrates 100 posters from these pioneering days of porn, when this stuff actually played in cinemas and not booths!

Great fun, if not good clean fun or for all ages.

Bonjour chers lecteurs et bienvenue au premier post de ce qui devrait être un mois excitant à Pulp's Art.
N’hésitez donc pas à visiter ce blog pour plus d'infos.

ILLUSTRATORS # 1

SC 96pp Couleur, Noir et Blanc

Book Palace Books

L'editeur de Book Palace Geoff West etant un admirateur de l'excellent magasine "Illustration" publié par Dan Zimmer, magasine celebrant l'age d'or de l'illustration americaine, il decida de proposer un equivalent sur l'age d'or des illustrateurs Européens, il le nomma "Illustrators".   
Ces deux magasines ne sont donc pas des concurrents, ils sont plutot complementaires.

Le premier numero vous presente l'illustrateur anglais de pulps Denis McLoughlin, l'artiste anglais de comics Ian Kennedy, l'illustrateur espagnol Angel Badia Camps et l'illustrateur français du debut du 19ème siècle Cheri Herouard. 

Voici donc un trés bon debut pour un magasine ayant beaucoup de potentiel et pour une equipe avec d'excellentes connaissances et contacts, nous attendons avec grande impatiente les prochains numeros. 

ART OF DENIS McLOUGHLIN

HC 272pp Couleur limité à 950 copies

Book Palace Books

Pour ceux qui apres avoir decouvert l'art de Denis McLoughlin veulent en apprendre plus sur cet incroyable illustrateur anglais, voici un ouvrage avec plus d'informations sur lui et de nombreuses reproductions de ses oeuvres.

L'angleterre d'apres guerre etait dévastée par les nombreux bombardements et elle avait perdu son influence d'avant guerre dans le nouvel ordre mondial, c'est dans ce contexte que son peuple s'est nourri de la culture d'abondance et de glamour venant de Etats Unis.

De la culture des pionniers de l'ouest aux pulps et histoires de crimes, ce sont des artistes comme Denis McLoughlin qui ont permis aux Anglais de se nourrir de tous ces genres.
