Bill Sienkiewicz Sketchbook | Hardcover with dustjacket | signed by Sienkiewicz | #78/1.300 Product details Publisher: Fantagraphics Books Language: English ISBN-10: 1-56097-041-3 Publication Date: November 1990 The impact that Bill Sienkiewicz has had upon the industry is little short of shamanic. The location of a personal voice is the key to the artist that Bill Sienkiewicz has become. Having learned at the feet of great masters, his most important accomplishment was then to learn how to listen to and amplify the voice of his own instincts. Those instincts, in perhaps their purest form, are presented here, in this sketchbook: spontaneous character studies, tentative sketches, and the kind of first-impulse doodles that lend Bill's finished work so much of its life and variety. Here, deprived of any illustrative veneer, we are forcibly reminded what a bloody good cartoonist Bill Sienkiewicz happens to be. Condition: Very fine / near mint 12.
