Discover a vivid landscape of imagination where the human body is collaged and refashioned with often disparate industrail elements. Is it a surreal world where the interplay between man and machine is beautiful, shocking, grotesque, captivating, and relevant to our times. Young, award-winning artist Jason Felix began sketching and drawing extensively at age eleven. Inspired to draw and create by watching the movie Alien with his father, Jason Felix's fascination with fantasy, science fiction, monsters, and creatures grew as he took in such classic sci-fi films as Conan the Barbarian, Blade Runner, Star Wars, and Clash of the Titans. Largely self-taught, he published his own comic book at age seventeen (sold through Diamond Distribution), and his portfolio grew exponentially from there. Salvaged collects Felix's work for the first time, and contains many new and never-before-seen images. His style ranges from sci-fi and fantasy to increasingly grotesque, even disturbing images. Rick Berry, world-renowned pioneer in digital art, says, "Human beings are becoming fabulous and strange...and it's happening very fast. Felix is there. That's where he's looking and for all the scary bits you can also see the excitement, the sense of stunning transformation, and beauty. I can't seem to take my eyes off the weird wonder of his visionary assumption." Known for his digital photographic manipulations, Felix's works have been showcased internationally and have directly inspired numerous Hollywood projects. He has been involved in visually establishing computer games such as StarCraft and the Prince of Persia series.

Astonishing,
By
This review is from: Salvaged: The Art of Jason Felix (Hardcover)
"Astonishing" is just one of many Stan-Lee-superhero-comic-esque prefixes I could use to describe Jason Felix's new art book. Once you see yourself I'm sure you'll call it amazing, incredible, or something similar yourself.
Jason's art is a breathe of fresh air. The last time I got an artistic rush like this was the first time I saw Dave McKean's 'Sandman' covers. Jason has embraced & acknowledged the work of McKean & other visionaries to create a style all his own that seems to perfectly blend the disturbing with the beautiful. You need to buy his book now & support someone committed to taking the art world to a new level.

Astonishing Vision,
By Vishi "Vishi" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Salvaged: The Art of Jason Felix (Hardcover)
Jason Felix has a vision for "salvageable" things that most of us would not even notice. He's transformed metal and scrap into human-like/metallic/mechanical figures. His fusions range from romantic, celestial, spiritual to graphic...all of it being creative, artistic and astonishing pieces I've ever seen. All great stuff for a sophisticated labyrinth type of graphic arts.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book!,

This review is from: Salvaged: The Art of Jason Felix (Hardcover)
There are some very cool creepy images in this book. I like the fusion of human and mechanical forms. If you enjoy bio-mechanical/surreal art, Salvaged is a must have.
