Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Reproducing Tim Biskup's "100 Paintings" series in a compact, hardcover book, is this 5" x 5" volume of one hundred crisp, colorful paintings. The hardcover volume presents Biskup's work in its actual size, with an introduction by critically acclaimed illustrator and Emmy winner, Gary Baseman. Inspired by his Italian sketchbook, Biskup tied his illustrations together with numbers and set a goal of completing one hundred detailed paintings. The ensuing book, "100 Paintings," was immediately popular among fans appreciating its compact size.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute steal at this price!, May 10, 2004

By	Ronald A. Nelson (Byron, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

You've got to be kidding that this book sells for as little as it does. No doubt the diminutive size of each reproduction figures into the low price, but the quality is first rate throughout. Tim's imaginative renderings (at actual size in the reproduction) are bright and crisp and colorful and energetic and...and..and.... If your house, like mine, is filled with coffee table art books, this bite size morsel is just perfect to fill in the little crack left in a wall of books. Not only do you get spectacular images, Tim has included information in the back about when and where each picture was shown. Each image is placed on a black matte background which launches the image toward you. The binding in the book is first rate and will last well into the future when it becomes that hard to find collectors' item in 3004. And if you're reading this review you know you don't even have to get up and go out the door to get it, so get it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Feel good factor: +++, January 31, 2006

By	P. Vink (Arnhem, the Netherlands) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Here's a little gem for you. It's on my bedside table just in case I'd feel grumpy or can't get out of bed again. Within seconds Tim Biskup has me in a world of beautiful colours, frisky little birds and happy monsters. The 1:1 scaled pictures are so powerfull, they'll bring me right into Tim's mind. What a trip! Enjoy it everytime I look in it, Mr. Biskup makes this world a better place and his paintings make me jump out of bed with a big smile! Goodmorning! Time for breakfast!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Two Biskups, February 23, 2006

By	Mrs. Deirdre Mcnamara "Eimhin" (Dun Laoghaire) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

An inspiration, the only problem being that 100 is far too small a number. So here I am waiting for the 500
