Portraits not only capture a likeness, but offer for generations to come a glimpse into the subject's life. Sounds like quite a challenge. But with Ann Kullberg's help, it's not as difficult as one might think to create lifelike colored pencil portraits. Using her own beautiful portraiture for instruction and inspiration, Kullberg walks artists through the process step by step--from basic information about materials and techniques to two demonstrations that show how complete portraits come together from beginning to end. Readers will also find Kullberg's secrets for making their portrait come alive, along with 17 mini-demos that make it easy to paint realistic features, hair and clothing.

"As contemporary mosaicists who like to have freedom with design, we take our inspiration from a wide range of sources, from classical mosaic art to contemporary culture. Our approach is characteristically simple and understated, but we enjoy working in a variety of styles and often incorporate hold colors and motifs into our designs. Our view on materials is that there should be as few restrictions as possible - if it doesn't perish then you can mosaic with it. In addition to traditional tesserae, we also use glass beads, buttons, pebbles, and shells among other things, and have a large collection of ceramic tiles, gathered from years of rummaging around flea markets, garage and yard sales, and tile suppliers' discontinued shelves. With these materials we produce all sorts of mosaic pieces - decorative! objects, wall hangings, floor panels, as well as more unusual three-dimensional forms, such asm mannequins, busts, and clocks.

Marcel Ruijters

Book DescriptionAn anthropological undertaking in comics form, this gritty collection of stories examines the lifestyles, religion, reproductive nature, and hierarchy of a complex, subterranean species. Racy and provocative, these fictional tales resonate with the primal nature of man - a mysterious quandary that even now is hotly debated between our most intellectual philosophers, legions of religious fanatics, and the brightest scientists of our day.
