Hi-Fructose Collected Edition Vol.2 : Under-the-Counter Culture

so many artists in here that really dont get the recognition they deserve

If anything, this second volume of collected original material from issues 5-8 of the magazine is even better than the first one.A satisfyingly heavy volume, this presents work by diverse artists such as Amy Sol, Lori Earley, James Jean, Audrey Kawasaki, Marion Peck, Camille Rose Garcia, etc.; it's beautifully presented in full-colour throughout with the original interviews and articles as they appeared in the original editions of the magazine.A lot of the artists represented here are now well-established figures in the world-wide Pop Surrealism/Lowbrow art movement – it's a very useful and fascinating book to look through for information and (sometimes dark) inspiration.A great book to have and certainly of interest to followers of contemporary figurative fine art and graphics.

What a werd and wonderful collectoin of artists. Quality oozes from this book, dynamic layout (double page fold outs) and lots of imagery and a good balance of insightful interviews. If you love books and want to expand your mind with new artists this is the book for you. If you are thinking about it don't just buy it. You won't regret it, I can't wait for the next edition as I bought both volume 1 and 2.

This is an excellent quality piece and the artwork presented is stunning. Don't be alarmed of the blank pages within the book as I was, they turned out to be the bigger size artwork, when you unfold them. If you like art and want to broaden your horisons, this is a great place to start.
