The Great Houses of Natchez

Antebellum Natchez.......2005-09-14

Natchez is such a magical place and this book does a fine job of capturing what makes this town special. The photographs by Gleason are wonderful and the text gives you just the right amount of backstory. It is amazing that this place has survived almost totally intact from the time of the Civil War. Visiting Natchez really does feel like walking through history and this book is the next best thing to being there. If you have any interest in the Old South or beautiful Civil War era mansions, or just fine photography, then you will enjoy this book.

An eye for detail.......2002-11-05

Michael Warr certainly has an eye for detail and his book "Detail & Texture" will please those watercolor artists who appreciate realism and near realism. His use of gouache with his watercolors will help remove any fears, or prejudices, amateur artists have held about "corrupting" the purity of the watercolor.

The book takes you through several development stages of about twenty paintings to the finished product. The real beauty of this book is that the reader is not expected to copy these paintings but is encouraged to apply the techniques to his/her own subjects.

"Sensual Men" to Send............2000-07-20

Jeff Palmer is perhaps one of the best male nude photographer's around today. This postcard book is a wonderful addition to my collection, and I think you would enjoy it, too. This is number 20 in the series of postcard books published showcasing many outstanding photographers. This postcard book is the best of the photographs from his book "Sensual Men." Add this one to your collection like I did. You won't regret it.

Book Description

When you're seven-feet plus of walking, talking stone, you're bound to draw the media spotlight, especially when you live in Tinseltown. Concrete's celebrity status is sometimes a pain in the buttress... but it does bring the occasional paycheck gig. When the producer of a low-budget science-fiction film approaches Concrete to use his prodigious strength to help save money on the film's FX budget, the siren call of Hollywood draws Concrete like a moth to a flame... a seven thousand dollar a week flame, that is.

As strong as the first volume.......2007-08-01

One of the best graphic series I've ever read, if not the best -- beautifully and imaginatively drawn, with deep, moving stories that contain most every characteristic people look for in storytelling (intellect, humor, pathos, adventure, sorrow, joy, awe, sex, movie parodies, and a three-legged dog). What would your life become if you were suddenly transformed into a 1,200-pound hunk of ugly rock? Paul Chadwick answers that question from most every conceivable direction, often with unexpected, hilarious, exciting, and very touching results. The series hasn't lagged at all in quality so far--this third volume is just as good as the first, sometimes even better.

Book Description

Trapped in an indestructible alien body composed of living rock, Concrete looks like a special effect come to life! So it's only logical when an ingenious film crew hires him to create the unbelievable wonders of their latest screenplay, the sci-fi epic Rulers of the Omniverse. Logic is out the window, however, when he finds himself having to perform even greater wonders off the set! Glamour, politics and duelling egos begin to take an emotional toll on the crew just as a series of suspicious accidents take a decidedly more physical toll on them, and our 1200-pound hero becomes much more than just a special effects master!

Graphic SF Reader.......2007-09-03

Concrete is hired to be a one man special effects man for a film project, or the B-movie variety. Needless to say, the special effects crew missing out on this contract is narked, and look to cause problems. Somewhat autobiographical about the author's experiences in Hollywood.

Concrete lusts after his therapist, which isn't going to work when you are a walking flaking pile of rock, and he continues to mess up and muddle through.
