photo-intensive guide to the world of tattoos. Detailed photo

This beautifully photographed volume surveys the Japanese
motorcycles which have helped steer the American cycling habit
since the late 1950s. Examples of first models, last models, and
the most unusual Japanese machines to hit American shores are
covered in detail with over 450 color photos and accompanying text.
Almost every cycle shown is 100 percent original or has been
painstakingly returned to its original form. The first machines
from Japan were simple, lightweight units that could be ridden by
anyone, and opened up new roads for the neophyte rider. As the
years progressed, the offerings from the Japanese makers became the
ones to beat.

1985. For each of the models featured, there is a colour photo of
the bike opposite a text description, including the difference and
similarities between the model being discussed and similar ones.
Body Painting is a photo intense examination of the emerging art of
painting bodies with non-toxic paints. From face painting children
to the creation of painted "clothes" Doug Mitchel follows ten
artists as they apply paint to skin. Each artist is represented by
one chapter, each chapter follows a "paint job" from the initial
concept to the application of the final details. Each design is
different, but all are colorful and creative. With over 450 color
photographs printed on 144 pages, this book documents the
techniques and tools used by established artists. Application
methods include the brush, airbrush and even markers. Each method
has advantages and disadvantages, each has its place and each is
covered in detail in this new book from Wolfgang Publications. In
addition to the photo sequences with descriptive captions, each
chapter includes an interview with the artist. Topics include the
way in which the artist learned his or her trade, preferred tools
and which paint they prefer to use. The discussion of paint choices
includes airbrushed body make up, textile acrylics, liquid latex
and markers from companies like Crayola. As pointed out in the
captions and the interviews, each material has good points and bad,
all are covered in Body Painting. The best teachers are the men and
women who have already mastered the skill. Body Painting presents
the accumulated wisdom and experience of ten "teachers" each of who
has a lesson to share with the readers. With a wealth of photos
Body Painting is both a colorful look at an emerging art form, and
a very useful how-to book.
