Michael Allred (b. 1962) stands out for his blend of spiritual and philosophical approaches with an art style reminiscent of 1960s era superhero comics, which creates a mixture of both postmodernism and nostalgia. His childhood came during an era where pop art and camp embraced elements of kitsch and pastiche and introduced them into the lexicon of popular culture. Allred's use of both in his work as a cartoonist on his signature comic book Madman in the early 1990s offset the veiled autobiography of his own spiritual journey through Mormonism and struggles with existentialism. Thematically, Allred's work deals heavily with the afterlife as his creations struggle with the grander questions—whether his modern Frankenstein hero Madman, cosmic rock 'n' roller Red Rocket 7, the undead heroine of iZombie (co-created with writer Chris Roberson), or the cast of superhero team book The Atomics. Allred also enjoys a position in the creator-driven generation that informs the current batch of independent cartoonists and has experienced his own brush with a major Hollywood studio's aborted film adaptation of Madman. Allred's other brushes with Hollywood include an independent adaptation of his comic book The G-Men from Hell, an appearance as himself in Kevin Smith's romantic comedy Chasing Amy (where he provided illustrations for a fictitious comic book), the television adaptation of iZombie, and an ongoing relationship with director Robert Rodriguez on a future Madman film. Michael Allred: Conversations features several interviews with the cartoonist from the early days of Madman's success through to his current mainstream work for Marvel Comics. To read them is to not only witness the ever-changing state of the comic book industry, but also to document Allred's growth as a creative genius.

From the author of Direct Watercolor and The Urban Sketcher, as well as the popular art-blog CitizenSketcher.com.Marc Taro Holmes is an internationally collected, award-winning watercolorist, and an elected member of the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour and the Society of Canadian Artists.He is also the creator of social media watercolor painting marathon #30x30DirectWatercolor2019. An open call to anyone, to paint thirty paintings in thirty days in the month of June. The APOCALYPSE VARIATIONS is a collection of Marc's paintings from the 2019 event. The book is both a love letter to watercolor painting and a darkly pessimistic rendition of contemporary landscape painting.Unlike his previous books, this is not a how-to for beginners. This is Marc's first fine art monograph. An art book in the old tradition. You will find large reproductions of the paintings, paired with close-up detail shots and preparatory sketches. In the text, Marc discusses the thinking behind the paintings with complete honesty. It's likely that lovers of his previous work will be surprised at his new direction. Or perhaps not, if they have been following Marc's social media and reading between the lines.Please, do not purchase this book expecting Marc's chatty online-instructor-mode full of helpful encouragement for aspiring artists. There are no tips-and-tricks or self-training programs. For that sort of thing, please visit Marc's website CitizenSketcher.com.This book is meant as inspiration to anyone seriously interested in expressive watercolor painting, or, for fellow studio artists dealing with the issues of painting in series and making relevant contemporary work. > Please note: Some readers with a strong preference for image brightness and contrast, or the ability to zoom, may prefer to experience the Amazon Kindle e-book edition on a full-color tablet, laptop or personal computer. This paper edition is for art book-collectors who want a hard copy in their library. It is a self-published title printed on Amazon's standard, white, 100gsm paper with a glossy card stock cover. Thanks, ~Marc

The idea of America has always encouraged apocalyptic visions. The 'American Dream' has not only imagined the prospect of material prosperity; it has also imagined the end of the world. 'Final forecasts' constitute one of America's oldest literary genres, extending from the eschatological theology of the New England Puritans to the revolutionary discourse of the early republic, the emancipatory rhetoric of the Civil War, the anxious fantasies of the atomic age, and the doomsday digital media of today. For those studying the history of America, renditions of the apocalypse are simply unavoidable. This book brings together two dozen essays by prominent scholars that explore the meanings of apocalypse across different periods, regions, genres, registers, modes, and traditions of American literature and culture. It locates the logic and rhetoric of apocalypse at the very core of American literary history.
