About the Author

Juxtapoz Art and Culture magazine was established by California artist Robert Williams in 1994 to document an exploding art movement emanating largely from the West Coast of the United States. In the intervening years, this movement has gone global and Juxtapoz has rebranded and reimagined itself to better represent a generation of artists intent on working outside the ossified art establishment.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book for inspiration, June 27, 2009

Length:: 0:17 Mins

I'm pleasantly surprised by the quality and creativity of work showcased.

This book has no theme. The art is diverse, random and unexpected. I'm not sure if the illustrations have appeared in the Juxtapoz magazine. At 192 pages, the book is filled with beautiful illustrations created with different mediums, digital, traditional, collage, ink.

I would recommend this for those who are looking for a bit of inspiration. For even more inspiration, check out juxtapoz. com.

This is a great portfolio for the artists and they are:

* Kelsey Brookes
* David Choe
* Mickey Duzyj
* Jeremy Fish
* Mike Giant
* Grotesk
* Tomer Hanuka
* Evan Hecox
* James Jean
* Kozy n Dan
* Travis Millard
* Mode 2
* Morning Breath
* Alex Pardee
* Eduardo Recife
* SAN
* Michael Sieben
* Amy Sol
* Jeff Soto
* Barron Storey
* Nate Van Dyke

I am a big fan of the magazine and this book is just mind blowing, Page to page full of artworks and different artist, some featured in the magazine and some new comers never seen before. If you love juxtapoz get the book you wont be disapointed. The makers of Juxtapoz really have out done themself's this time. Even if you have never heard of the magazine or don't like the magazine you will love this book.

This review is from: Juxtapoz Illustration (Juxtapoz) (Hardcover)

I bought this book so that I could get a collection of great Illustrators and because Juxtapoz is awesome. This book is awesome if you want basically a picture book of artists. Theres a short description of each artist followed by 4-6 works of each one. No long biographies, just artwork to look at.
