It is fun to get a glimpse into the mind of a truly creative artist. I've been trying for most of my life to secure some unobtanium, and here it is right in his yard, too bad it is protected by ghouls and scary robots.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, lots of good text and pictures, December 5, 2011

I saw an exhibit by this artist (Clayton Bailey) in Sacramento. He is off-the-wall in a great way - very clever and humorous. The book is exactly what I had pictured and arrived promptly and well-packaged so that no damage was done to the book.
Would recommend to anyone.
