NEWS FROM PULP'S ART

Sorry readers we're running late with the update this week on account of various behind the scenes activities, such as preparing orders for associates in Annecy and the USA, as well as preparing for our road trip to Erlangen's International Comic Festival from June 7 - 10, that's Germany's biggest celebration of graphic literature and comic art and it's only every two beers er every two years, so see you there!


So new this week would be,

WALT KELLY THE LIFE & ART OF THE CREATOR OF POGO

HC 244pp Color Black + White

Hermes Press

At last an extensive book on one of the most admired creators and his adored creation from the golden age of American animation and comic strips.

Walt Kelly worked at Disney studios on several of their original animated features such as Snow White, Fantasia and Dumbo, he drew comics for Dell and of course created the highly original and hugely successful strip Pogo.

In this delightful book you'll find lots of rare and unpublished artwork, an interview with one of Disney's "nine old men" Ward Kimble in which he discusses the contribution of Kelly to the sumptuous aesthetic they created and there's a full color Sunday Pogo strip reprinted in its entirety.

Design Studio Press

Publisher Scott Robertson of Design Studio Press isn't just the publisher of fabulous looking art books for those who want the future now, now, now, he's also a seriously talented designer and artist in his own right.

He's joined by some equally talented artistic chums to create an armada of futuristic flying machines that buzz about the pages of this book.

If you enjoyed Scott's previous book about  future flights of fancy, Lift Off, then you are sure to want to climb aboard and strap in for this trip to tomorrow and beyond!

If Design Studio Press have it in print then we are almost certain to have it in stock here at Pulp's Art, these are exceptionally well produced, visually stimulating and very reasonably priced books.

If you like images yet you aren't familiar with these publications then we'll be happy to introduce you to them.

ILLUSTRATION # 37

SC 96pp Color Black + White

Illustrated Press

Dan Zimmer's quarterly publication, Illustration, is a must have for those of us passionate about classic American illustration.

Well researched articles by experts on the featured artists are peppered with gorgeous reproductions of the subject's work.

The latest issue features a detailed examination of Elainne Duillio's career, the women who made the heaving bosom and cascading locks of "all male" model Fabio famous. 

Pretty as a picture herself, Elainne was the the veritable "Queen of romance illustration" with over 500 book covers to her name; then there's my particular favorite feature for this issue about the refined art of Coby Whitmore, finally the energetic art of George Ziel rounds out the issue.

London based publisher the Book Palace, know a thing or two about good illustration and are also big fans of Dan's publication, so they've decided to publish a magazine of their own but focused on the great talents from our side of the pond.

Look for their debut issue of Illustrators on our blog spot in the near future.

Soon the relative calm of these past months will give way to a serious flow of exciting releases as the American artists prepare their new books for the convention season and the books of this summer's movie blockbusters chase the vapor trail left by the stunning success of The Avengers.

Sooner than that we should be welcoming the new books from Cafe Salé, the latest annual selection from the site and a new handy pocket book of cool designs in their Shuffle series.

Desole chers lecteurs pour le retard de la mise à jour du blog, mais nous avons beaucoup à faire entre des envois pour le festival d'Annecy et les Etats-Unis, nous devons aussi preparer notre stand pour le festival d'Erlangen du 7 au 10 Juin en Allemagne.

Voici donc les nouveautes de la semaine,
