5.0 out of 5 stars
Flip Flop Flyin' Boy is a genius.
Craig Robinson, the genius behind FlipFlopFlyin.com, has taken his huge collection of pixelated celebrities and put them in a book. Seems simple, right? But it's such a work of art! High quality printing (not to mention all of Mr. Robinson's Minipops collected in one place that you can access anywhere) really makes this book a perfect addition to any [insert winter...

Brilliant art, buy poorly designed
I would love to give this book five stars, as I think Craig's caricatures are absolutely brilliant, deserving TEN stars on their own. However, the design of this book was very poorly thought out, so I have to give it only three.

I would love to give this book five stars, as I think Craig's caricatures are absolutely brilliant, deserving TEN stars on their own. However, the design of this book was very poorly thought out, so I have to give it only three.Firstly, I think they should have made the people larger, at least as large as on the cover, but probably even a little larger. I believe the true beauty of pixel art becomes more apparent the larger the pixels appear. Yeah, I get it, MINIpops, but whatever, the size does not do justice to Craig's work. Secondly, and this is my major beef, there is NO INDEX. There is an answer key in the back for each page in the book, so you can play fun little guessing games with your friends, but if you want to find a specific person, there is no way to figure out what page they are on (short of a brilliant photographic memory). I design books for a living, so I know they had a page count to adhere to, but I would've rather trimmed out some of the more obscure celebrities to make the book more user-friendly. Something to think about for volume two...

Or you could just buy it. Yes, why don't you just do that.

who doesn't want to have hundreds of famous people in their own home? i know i do!now that i own my own copy of mini-pops i have tiny famous people all over my house. craig's drawings are delightful and his words are witty. this is a great book of pixelated pals to pick up and peruse or pass around at a party! and excellent & unique gift even for those friends who seem to have everything! the printing and paper quality is very nice as well, if you are interested in things like that. |
