I've traveled to Europe several times over the past 8 years and purchased various guide books for the planning of each trip and as a guide during the trip. By far the best and most reliable is the Rick Steves series. Factual information. I like it because he has a back door philosphy. I feel like I'm getting the background information from someone that has lived there for years. I also love how I'm able to use it as a guide once I'm there too. He has walking tours of museums - of course I typically purchase the musuem audio tours but in the random time that I don't pay for it, it's nice to have one in the guidebook. |

Scott Kelby, author of The Digital Photography Book, volume 1 (the world’s best-selling digital photography book of all time), is back with a follow-up to his volume 2 smash best seller, with an entirely new book that picks up right where he left off. It’s even more of that “Ah ha—so that’s how they do it,” straight-to-the-point, skip-the-techno-jargon stuff you can really use today to make your shots even better.
This book truly has a brilliant premise, and here’s how Scott describes it: “If you and I were out on a shoot and you asked me, ‘Hey Scott, I want the light for this portrait to look really soft and flattering. How far back should I put this softbox?’ I wouldn’t give you a lecture about lighting ratios, or flash modifiers. In real life, I’d just turn to you and say, ‘Move it in as close to your subject as you possibly can, without it actually showing up in the shot.’ Well, that’s what this book is all about: you and I out shooting where I answer questions, give you advice, and share the secrets I’ve learned, just like I would with a friend—without all the technical explanations and techie photo speak.” |

Apart from submitting your blogs to top search engine friendly web directories, such as the ones listed on my previous post, 25 Top Places To List Your Blog For Traffic, article submission is also a beneficial form of promoting your brand and website.
Most bloggers and website owners often neglect article submissions, because most of the time, article submission directories have strict requirements as to the type of article you can submit, minimum words, unique content and more.
Article submission directories offer a lot of benefits for your website and branding. Submitting articles is one of the most successful ways to draw traffic, obtain backlinks and increase your exposure with potential visitors and search engines. It is cost effective, as you don’t have to spend money to do this. All you need are some good unique articles and you are all set. |

 Harvey Kurtzman: His Life and Work June 17, 2009
Sacramento Book Review (Sacramento, CA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Abrams ComicArts is a new imprint from the art and pop-culture publisher Abrams Books. The recently released //The Art of Harvey Kurtzman// is an excellent example of Abrams quality and attention to detail, and a splendid sign of things to come. Harvey Kurtzman, for those unfamiliar with is name, may have been one of the most influential artists, editors, and satirists in American culture, being most notably responsible for //Mad Magazine//. Kurtzman also helped launch the careers of Robert Crumb, Gloria Steinem, Terry Gilliam, and Art Spiegelman. Dennis Kitchen, comic editor and publisher himself, and Paul Bahle, American History and Culture professor, have collected hundreds of examples of art from the Kurtzman archives and created a visual history of his work, starting in the 1939 with an entry into a Buffalo Bob cartoon contest and ending with a //Kings in Disguise// cover from 1988. |

Juliette Aristides has done it again. She has followed her first book titled Classical Drawing Atelier, with another book on painting. As in the case of the first book, she and the editors/publishers (Watson & Guptill) have created a beautiful book that not only provides helpful instruction, but it's simply beautiful as a work of art itself.
It's hard to keep this review short because there's a lot to discuss, but to start I'll admit that I'm biased. I'm thankful that Juliette has taken the time to write it and I hope it goes into its tenth printing in the next two years. The near death of classical painting and drawing at the hands of "modern" art would have been an incalculable loss for western society, but somehow, reason and knowledge remained in the minds of a few, and classical art survived. Many of us recognized all along that it has value and have rejected the alternative, but the pressure to conform to creating the ephemeral and inferior art that society desired was too strong for many. This stunning volume confirms that classical art is coming back and Juliette has helped that process. |
