Chronicle: The Art of Jiba Molei Anderson - Tapa blanda

"My work is defined by pop culture. From Alphonse Mucha to Frank Frazetta, from comic books and animation to “Grindhouse” films, these “low-brow” creations sparked my imagination. Their bold and shameless design and marketing aesthetic inspire the way that I make images and bring my message to the masses... And they are a lot of fun." The creator of The Horsemen returns showcasing the work and philosophy of a new master of the medium. More than just the average "sketchbook," Anderson also includes two tutorials on the creation of comics... A must have for any fan of the medium!
