Editorial Illustration Books

El producto que recibi fue tal y como lo describe el vendedor, ademas lo recibi antes de la fecha prevista, la calidad del libro es excelente, quede completamente complacido con esta compra.

This is a really good way to teach your kids about the bible. No sabia como empezar con mi hija de 4 anos y decidi comprar este libro y estoy encantada. Los cuadros son lindos e inspirantes para mi hija que esta desesperada cada noche para que le lea las historias. Ni siquiera tengo que hacer preguntas, porque las preguntas vienen incluidas en la redaccion y mi hija las responde inmediatamente. Al mismo tiempo cada historia -relatada en lenguaje sencillo para ninos- tiene al final una oracion relacionada y que les ensena a orar con palabras faciles. It's just great!. I really recommend it!.

This was a great book. It has a short story accompanied by a picture, questions and a prayer. It also had the scripture listed it was taken from so that one could look up the story in the Bible. The pictures helped English speakers know which story was which.

When I was little girl, one of the first books that I started reading was this book. This book includes stories from the Old and New Testament and it is explained using simple sentences and beautiful illustrations. At the end of each story it has questions so the child could test him or herself reading comprehension. I lost this book. Now that I have a child of my own one of the first things that I did was to get this book. My child is still too young to understand it but I am reading a story every night knowing that one day she will start reading it on her own like aI did. This is a book that every Spanish speaking child should have in their bookhelf.

A must have source of inspiration for all those interested in small scale to miniature contemporary illustrative sculptural work. Would appeal to model builders, contemporary doll artists & sculptors alike.

It's rare for a newspaper editor to draw his own editorial cartoons. But Editor Emeritus Jesse Earle Bowden of the Pensacola News Journal has been his own cartoonist for 55 years.
The politics, personalities and many editorial page crusades of the News Journal Editor and vice president, chairman of the editorial board and cartoonist--more than 1,250 cartoons and caricatures from more forty years at the drawing board--spill over 472 pages of this historic graphic treasure. The journalist/illustrator presents drawings from his sportswriting /cartooning years of 1950s to more than thirty years of his editorial-page cartoon commentary from the early 1960s to the 1990s.
Among the many humorous and satirical images are the strong symbolism of the American heritage and patriotism and the native Floridian's devotion to the region of his birth. Here are graphic symbolism of Bowden's many editorial dreams and two-barreled approach to his editorial persuasiveness. His editorials and editorial cartoons demonstrate his convictions about Gulf Islands National Seashore, Pensacola's historical preservation movement, the Pensacola bayfront and downtown redevelopment, preservation of Scenic Highway, University of West Florida and quality education, the cultural arts and the many emotion-charged battles to reform Escambia County government.
Bowden's cartoons demonstrates his love of history; he has opened his many scrapbooks of pen-and-ink memories--some drawings never before published--from the presidency of John F. Kennedy to Bill Clinton, from the Florida governorship of Haydon Burns to Lawton Chiles. The cartoon images chronicle the history of the people in the public arena of political change in Florida's First Place City, the western Panhandle, Tallahassee and in Washington.
Along the way, meet many Pensacolians, Floridians and national figures--ably caricatured--from Bowden's sketchbooks who peopled the cartoons that have appeared on News Journal sports, news and editorial pages since 1953.
Bowden includes many News Journal personalities from the eras of Publisher Braden Ball and Editor Marion T. Gaines in the 1950s to Publisher Denise Bannister's years of the 1990s.
Besides his text for a historic timeline of the four decades--the books show the busy left hand of Bowden--the other serious interest of the journalist, author of eleven books and teacher of writing at the University of West Florida. Partially retired in 1998, Bowden continues as a News Journal editorial page columnist and cartoonist.

Arthur Szyk was a popular illustrator of the mid-twentieth century who had experienced a great resurgence in popularity in recent years. With good reason too -- his style is unique, striking, bold, brilliant (enough superlatives?). Furthermore, Szyk was intensely political and he lent his talent to fight the main issues of his day -- anti-fascism, freedom and tolerance. His art can still stir the conscience. Irvin Ungar is a leading authority in Szyk and well qualified to introduce you to his work. Fans will be delighted and wannabes will learn what they have been missing.

A beautifully organized guide, "The Orchids of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands / Las Orquideas De Puerto Rico y Las Islas Virgenes" by James D. Ackerman and Maria Del Castillo is a botanist's delight when it comes to identifying orchids commonly found in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Published by the University of Puerto Rico Press, this hardbound, bilingual book allows readers who are admirers of the islands' ecological systems or anything else related to them, to clearly identify the many forms of orchids found on the Eastern Caribbean islands.

The book, which only can be obtained via special order, is beautifully designed and features paintings of many orchids, which I found unique, because it definitely captures the essence of flora more so than a photograph. The book will make an excellent gift to anyone who is fascinated by the island's and their contents. Overall, this is a beautiful, informative book for botanists or botany lovers out there.

I like to draw when I have the time. I'm not all that good at it, but it's a relaxing and enjoyable hobby. So with that disclaimer, let me say that this book gave me a decent overview of a variety of illustration techniques along with useful examples of how the art is produced from start to finish. The book is nicely designed and there are photos and illustrations on every page along with informative text. I found it curious that all of the excellent example work was by European illustrators -- but when I came upon the copyright page in the back of the book, it notes that this title was originally published in Spain. The material it covers is probably too elementary for professional or formally-schooled artists, but for beginners and amateurs it's an easy-to-read compendium of techniques that will stimulate your creative juices.
