i first got this book to satisfy a fascination for the "big daddy" ed roth paintings i would see in the back of hot-rod magazines when i was a kid. to clear a few things up, robt. williams is more twisted than a green monster driving a header-flamed muscle car. it wasn't until i found a 10 year old copy of guns-n-roses appetite for destruction hidden away in my basement that i realized i had seen this type of art before. williams painted the metal spider lunging from a wooden fence to prey on boy for the back cover. that picture fascinated me then as do these images now. i lost my copy of this sometime back but the juxtaposition of amoeba behind the wheel of fast cars being chased by cowboys lingers in my brain like a dream barely remembered. his work is very much like this. anything can happen, beautiful or frightening, and very often on the same page.

An absolutely awesome collection of Mr.Williams artwork!Not only does it show the painting as a whole but it also has detail plates and a page or two to explain the meaning of the painting.Some of the more complex paintings come with a numbered reference diagram.Excellante!!!

this is one of my all time favorites!up there with anima mundi and
secret mystic rites.beautiful colors great paintings well worth it! bLiNkY
