Synopses & Reviews
Celebrating mid-century graphic design with a twist of "baroque modernism" and a dash of punk rock confidence! Tim Biskup continues to enchant and inspire us with the business card-sized illustrations that fill his Jackson 500 volumes. This fourth book in Biskup's The Jackson 500 series presents one hundred entirely new compositions, containing some of Biskup's recurring characters and themes, documenting evolving emotions and color theories, and bringing fans face-to-face with the raw energy that fuels some of Biskup's larger gallery works. With a fondness for James Flora, Japanese monsters, and chaos, Tim Biskup has honed his infectious style. His surreal, dense, colorful paintings evoke Paul Klee and Hieronymus Bosch, as well as animation pioneers Ward Kimbal, Bob Clampett, and Mary Blair. Biskup's career in animation led him to work on countless cartoons, including his own short for Nickelodeon, "Freddy Seymore's Amazing Life." The spontaneous compositions in The Jackson 500, Volume Four, show why he's one of today's most wanted multi-media artists, working with everything from toys and sculptures to tee shirts and art prints.
