Following the success of his Little Book of Hindu Deities and Ramayana: Divine Loophole, illustrator Sanjay Patel selected twelve popular Hindu deities to feature in this gorgeous print portfolio. Each full-color poster shows off Patel's cute-meets-modern graphic style, bringing Ganesha, Kali, Shiva, and nine other gods and goddesses into a 21st century Technicolor world. Colorful, playful, and iconic, the posters will be equally at home on a dorm room wall, office cubicle, or framed in a living room or kid's bedroom. Each poster also includes a black-and-white concept sketch on the back, along with descriptive text about the pictured deity.

Review
"Patel's illustration style is quite original and forceful. A strong sense of design, the colors and nuances of the book are very delicate, and Chronicle Books has done a wonderful job of capturing these in the printing and layout." -Michael Sporn Animation
"...a stunning large-format portfolio of 12 removable full-color posters, each bringing a revered ancient deity into the modern Technicolor world in Sanjay's signature anime-inspired vibrant graphic style. Equal parts playful, iconic, and irreverently subversive, the prints are less about reinforcing religious ideology - okay, they're actually not about that at all - than they are about exploring cultural storytelling and tradition from a fresh, unusual angel meant to delight and inspire." - Brain Picking

I already loved this artists work for years so I knew I would love the prints, really unique and fun.
Really, really impressed with this book. I am very happy with my purchase. Each poster is on nice, thick, quality paper-so you know it's gonna last. Each poster has a sketch version on the back along with info on each deity. I'm thinking of laminating each of them, they're just so gorgeous!

I'm a big fan of Sanjay Patel's work and I was very excited to find out he was coming out with a set of prints. Finally some full sized framable prints of his fantastic hindu deities. The colors and designs are gorgeous - my favorites are the rad punk rock pink Kali and the uber serene Buddha. It was a nice surprise to find an informative and entertaining mini history of each deity on the back of the prints, along with a cool black and white concept sketch. And then there is the inside of the case - the endpapers - what a delightful surprise. I won't spoil it for everyone, but believe me, this print set is covered with art from front to back!

This is such a great value for some high quality prints. Combine them with some IKEA frames and instant style in these challenging economic times.

I can't overemphasize how gorgeous this book is. I got it for my daughter, and she has framed a few of the prints for her room. I want another one as a coffee table book!

Gorgeous addition to our walls
This is fantastic work by Mr. Patel. Vishnu and Krishna are our faves. The only challenge now is figuring out where to hang them.
