"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.

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.

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.

I have collected the work of Jason Felix since his days as an illustrator for White Wolf Games. It was amazing to see his art progress in leaps and bounds, and in just a few years he moved from doing interior black and white illustrations to doing color covers.

This art book presents a great collection of Mr. Felix's work. Just like the title suggests, the images that Mr. Felix presents here could be considered disturbing, the objects (or the combination of objects) might look like something that could have been found at the junk yard...but he "salvages" it all and presents as art that is thought provoking AND mesmerizing!

I can't wait for the second volume!

Jason Felix has always been one of my favorite artists, so I was really excited to see that he finally released a collection of his art.

Get ready to see some incredible art and design. JS Rossbach, who designed and laid out the book, is a perfect match for the intricate beauty of Jason's work. Every page, every letter, and every stroke of color seems to have been well-thought about and taken into account when designing the book. The entire package is as much a piece of art as it is a book. Jason gives detailed information about each piece in the book. And there is also a cleverly-written foreward by artist Rick Berry.

The book itself is sturdy, with very high quality printing and it a steal for the amount being charged. Do yourself a favor and get this book while you still can.
