4.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant mess, November 5, 2007

By	M. Tichenor (Westwood, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have somehow been collecting these little books of Biskups' minute paintings. As ever, this one shows him, beyond imagery, to be an astonishing colorist (try looking at them for just his color sense- incredible). I have found the previous books to be really enjoyable, but scary in a safe sort of way: the Los Angeles anime/Gary Panzer heritage. This one is actually scary; and not so polished. And really honest and quite the best of the lot.

beyond his prolific, technical and marketing capabilities Tim Biskup is a master in color harmony.
