Tim Biskup's "100 Paintings" -- my favorite book of the year

Tim Biskup works as a background animation artist. He's also a prolific painter, and this itty-bitty book (measuring a little more than five inches on a side) has reproductions of 100 full sized paintings that he whipped out in a matter of months. Biskup's style is inspired by the work of the eminent LP album cover artist Jim Flora (who died in 1998), but he's got a delightfully eclectic assortment of other influences, such as Japanese pop and early Disney layout artists, blended in. This little hardcover book is a steal at $10.47. Link
