This latest volume of the Society of Illustrators' annual is a gorgeous collection of the year's best illustrations derived from books, advertising, comics, and un-commissioned works of artistic expression. Designed by D. J. Stout of the prestigious Pentagram Design firm, this compilation presents not only the year's finest graphic design work, but also the ideas behind the art as explained by the artists themselves. In Illustrators 54, each artist discusses the "how to" and "why" of their art, marking this annual a visually stunning art book and a riveting read into the creative process of today's top working illustrators.
