The resurgence in the popularity of illustrative art can be attributed to an array of factors. Although the acceptance of graphic novels as something more than just comic books has been established for quite some time, when Mc Sweeneys released its all-comics issue in 2004, the mainstream medias reaction elevated the medium, its words & images, to something beyond genre. As a result, such drawings & illustrations have found their ways into marketing campaigns, ads & galleries. While the work of individual artists varies greatly, much of it strikes an irresistible pose, whether viewers are staring at enlarged heads on distorted bodies or a shot-dead bird, its killer & a birdhouse both crying. The work is at once disturbing but oddly attractive. Here at MBP we have dubbed this quality Edgy Cute. For more than a decade, Harry Saylor, owner of Orbit Gallery, has been an advocate of art ranging from Neo-Pop to Low Brow, having represented the likes of Gary Baseman, Kathie Olivas, Travis Lampe, Angelique Hautkamp & Michael Caines. With Edgy Cute: From Neo-Pop to Low Brow & Back Again, Saylor utilizes his vast expertise in the field to compile a contemporary look at practitioners of this aesthetic, from the famous to the unknown. With more than 100 examples of this work, many of which have been commissioned for this book, & artist interviews, Edgy Cute is sure to appeal to anyone with an interest in bleeding-edge illustration. 30.4 x 25.4 x 2.3, pages 175 ...

The late Poet Laureate, Sir John Betjeman, said that Edinburgh was the most beautiful city in Europe. Like some other great cities it is set on seven hills. But only one of these, Rome, rivals Edinburgh in matching the beauty of its setting with the stateliness of its buildings. A romantic landscape of sea & hills, broad vistas & hidden corners is embellished by a style of architecture combining stern classicism with antiquarian whimsy. Edinburgh, too, provides the backdrop to much of the dark drama of the Scottish past, from Mary, Queen of Scots, to Bonnie Prince Charlie & beyond. It sets in stone a history shaped by nation, Union & Empire, but the 1, 500 year history of the city itself deserves wider telling. Long ruled by a strait-laced professional bourgeoisie, Edinburgh never suppressed a livelier side, peopled by figures comic or brutal, eccentric or gruesome. Michael Fry, who has lived & worked there for nearly forty years, provides a compellingly readable account of this great city, from the earliest times to the present, balancing Edinburgh's cultural, political & social history, & shows how they have borne on one another. He draws on a wide range of new, untapped archival sources, especially private papers & oral records, & paints a vivid picture of the city of John Knox & James Boswell, of David Hume & Walter Scott, a city ...

Product Description

Edinburgh is a city whose history is written on its face.

The Old Town on its crowded rock, sloping down from the Castle to Holyroodhouse, has not significantly changed its atmosphere since the turbulent fifteenth & sixteenth centuries, when riots, processions, or public executions jammed the High Street.

And the very different era that followed the bloody religious wars of the seventeenth century is epitomized by the elegant streets & squares of the New Town
- the eighteenth-century Enlightenment whose writers, philosophers & lawyers made Edinburgh famous.
