Book Reviews of Art and Design in Photoshop: How to simulate just about anything from great works of art to urban graffiti
Book Review: Another REALLY EXCELLENT publication from Steve Caplin!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a longtime fan of Steve Caplin's books and this is another top notch book that I am going to be adding to my collection. I did not know this book was even out up until today when I came across it at the bookstore. Before I knew it I was completely engrossed in this book... what had started off as a plan to do a quickie "sneak preview" turned into a looooooong episode as I slowly went from page to page trying to devour as much juicy information as I could before I had to leave (much) later on. I would have bought the book then and there but am going to have to wait just a little bit longer as my budget is on a tight freeze due to my 4 tyres (or "tires" as you say here in the US) having to suddenly be replaced 2 days ago...ugh!!
FANTASTIC book Steve!! Keep them coming! It's books like yours that inspire the creative juices to keep flowing!!
