5.0 out of 5 stars The Paint in My Blood, October 27, 2011

This review is from: The Paint in My Blood : Illustration and Fine Art (Paperback)

The Paint in My Blood is a collection of fantastic and surreal art masterfully created by Alan M. Clark. There are over a hundred of full-color plates, many of which are full-bleed on the page. This book represents Alan's various approaches to painting from controlled accidents, where he finds imagery in the paint, to well-crafted concepts and techniques. It is the story-telling aspect of the art that fascinates me and keeps me going back to the book to see more.
