My top three books for 2017

My top three books for 2017 are...

The Silver Way - If you as an artist/cartoonist want to get into the creative process of character design then this is the book for you. Each page of this book is loaded with drawings by Stephen Silver the lead character designer of Kim Possible and Danny Phantom.

The Art of Coco - Disney/Pixar's Coco was a visualy pleasing and colorful film based on the Mexican holiday the Day of the Dead that had a great sense of authenticity when it came to Mexican culture and traditions. You can't go wrong with this one since the book is jam packed with character designs, maquetes of the characters, storyboards, color layouts, and backgrounds.

The Art of Rick and Morty - The TV show is absolutely funny and the book is a wonderful look into the creative process of making the show. The imaginations of the artist of the show are definitely set in another wavelength. There were times where i spent some time looking at a drawing and wondering how in the heck they came up with such a weirdly offbeat character.

All three books are crammed full with amazing art and I highly recommend all of them.
