A fun read, if not for a bit depressing to hear just how explosively thriving the industry was 15 years ago, and I’m also sour that I’m never going to have the chance to open a studio in Portland’s Lloyd Center…

Sparks creativity. Gives you a glimpse of life in image making. Perfect to further interest or careers in the field.

This was another super awesome book to look at. It did have descriptions and explanations of things, but the text was a bit too tiny for me to care about and/or read comfortably..*chuckles* Again, beautifully creative contents and a great reference if you're seeking inspiration.

Inspirational interviews with artists and example of their work. The book starts with a really interesting chapter compressing the history of digital design and fore-runners of the medium.
