Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As expected, this highlights some of the more refined and detailed works from one of my favorite artists.
PRO: Lots of images, one on each page.This is why you buy the book.
CON: My copy feels like it was printed on near-newsprint paper that was cut with a dull scissors around the edges.Fingerprints show up on the porous cover indefinitely.Some of the work was created in black and white, but is in the book against a field of unattractive blue (basic cyan?), and the registration is a little off as well.Ink seems to have transfered a bit to blank facing pages, creating even more of a newsprint feel.
This is certainly not a triumph of book design or physical quality, but I would still buy it, as I love Mike Giant's work and can now study his lines and motifs for hours.

Product Description:
Mike Giant's signature black ink graphics mix tattoo styles, Mexican folk art and Japanese illustration, and are unmistakable on concrete, paper or skin. The ladies are buxom bong-hitters or multi-limbed Indian goddesses, and the gentlemen carry spray cans or have flames coming out of their heads. According to Matt Revelli, Editor of Juxtapoz, Giant "has the rare ability to create technical and precise drawings, but also show depth and soul in everything he does. Most precision based artists lack the human side in their work, and it can end up stale, but Mike is able to execute on a whole different level."
Born in New York and currently based in Albuquerque, Mike Giant, a graffiti and tattoo artist, is also the design mind behind clothing line REBEL8, a prolific photo-blogger at the online magazine fecalface.com, and has shown his artwork at 5024SF Gallery and White Walls, San Francisco, American Electric Tattoo, Los Angeles, Nomad, Toronto, Misanthropy Gallery, Vancouver and many other international venues. He is the author of Pagina Vilot, Shim Rot, Flood Bart, Dairy Hicks, the Skulls Press Compendium and the monograph Giant.
