Editorial Reviews

Review

Potter's bizarre art style blends morphing techniques with experiments in printing, multiple exposure, and adjustments to negatives: the result blends the surreal with science fiction to make for a strange series of images which will readily appeal to fans of Clive Barker and other horror imagists. -- Midwest Book Review

This review is from: Horripilations: The Art of J. K. Potter (Paperback)

This book presents a selection of Potter's incredible photographic imagery, ranging from breathtakingly lovely images of surreal beauties to twisted images of a warped subconcious. He combinees humanity with animals, nature with machines, and fear with fasination in seamless visuals. It is incredible that he does not use computers in producing his work. The commentary that accompanies the works gives you insight into his creative process and the foreward by Stephan King is fasinating in its own right. I recieved this book as a gift and was blown away by it.
