4.0 out of 5 stars Good stuff...., May 16, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The American Journal of Anthropomorphics (Book 3) (Paperback)

A nice collection of artists, with some great examples of what they can do. But....
Paper stock is poor and some prints are a bit blurry.

This review is from: The American Journal of Anthropomorphics (Book 3) (Paperback)

Perhaps I set my expectations too high, but this journal is an all-around disappointment. The premise is simple: gather up seventeen anthropomorphic cartoonists and artists, ask them to submit any work they've been doing, and regardless of content compile it into an 8x10" 100-page book. When the illustrations themselves exceed low, sketchy quality, the paper and ink this journal is printed with will regardlessly make everything seem amateurishly fashioned. Nothing about these pictures is unifying in theme or style except the presence of Furries. The journal contains comics, artwork, and graphic short stories usually taking on fantasy or sci-fi themes. The comics are unerringly awful. A repetitive concept in many illustrations is the reoccurrence of autobiographical, furry depictions of the cartoonists themselves. Two artists whose work greatly exceeds the talents of other contributors are Ronald Van Bokhoven - a fine illustrator from the Netherlands - and Joseph Ny - whose computer-generated designs include literal she-wolves of the SS, as well as other Eastern European and Asiatic themes. These men alone buoy my overall opinion of the journal, but I certainly don't advise purchasing this book at full price.
