The 21 artists and illustrators profiled in this 8.5x11", color-illustrated resource will inspire readers to reinterpret and reinvent everything from the surfaces on which they work to the way
viewers interact with their finished pieces. Artist profiles are grouped into thematic chapters on a content-driven approach, reinterpreting the visual landscape, building the surface,
projecting forward, and the digital realm. Each artist is represented by 1-4 works, with a profile explaining his or her methods and goals. Also included are 13 demonstrations of
two-dimensional, three-dimensional, digital, and new media art techniques. An introduction provides insight into the historical influences behind contemporary thinking and alternative
approaches. Cyr has authored six books, and gives workshops at universities and industry conferences. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
