A number of fine books on Joe Coleman's work exist, but none offer the scope, detail and production quality of "The Book of Joe." Joe's work has long merited a volume that not only reproduces nearly every painting he's produced, but offers readers highly-magnified details of the paintings. Even for those lucky enough to view his work firsthand (you pretty much have to know someone - the work is rarely exhibited publicly, and still more rarely can you see more than one painting at a time), these details elude the naked eye.

In addition to previously unpublished work, The Book of Joe is also a tour through the painter's life, loves, friends, performances and, of course, the infamous Odditorium.

This is an important book about an important painter. And it's as deep into Joe Coleman's mind as anyone's likely to get.

This is my favorite Art Book from the visionary mind of Joe Coleman. Real horror creeps within. Real beauty bleeds between the pages of this fantastic collection of the best of Joe's amazing art. 5 star recommendation. The work inside these covers represent a sampling of one of the most original and unique artists alive today. Mr Coleman is the master of exquisite detail, he sees and imparts the beauty and horror of life warts 'n' all. This book will add another level to your collection and will shake up what you thought you knew about everything.
