A huge book of inspirational illustration
I'm an illustration geek. I hoard books on fashion illustration, record cover graphics and the like, but for me, this book is head and shoulders above anything else currently available on the subject. The huge variety of work from illustrators working in the fields of poster design, advertising, fashion etc. is astounding, the interviews with the artists add even more inspiration. The calibre of artists is fantastic and the work is bang up to date and has left me bursting with ideas, an illustrator's must-have.

Good good
I've had this book for almost a year and I still look through it all the time. All of the work is amazing. Anyone into illustration, graphics, image making etc- i'd highly recommend it. Great for inspiration wen you're feeling a creative block. Can't wait to get Illusive2!
