BEASTS!

A Pictorial Schedule of Traditional Hidden Creatures From the Interest of 90 Modern Artisans Conceived, Designed and Edited by Jacob Covey

A BESTIARY OF THE AGES BY A CALVACADE OF POPULAR ARTISTS.

Beasts! is a classic mythological menagerie, comprised only of creatures that were thought at one time to actually exist, depicted by over 90 of the most acclaimed artists and cartoonists coming from the most avant-garde ambits of the art world. The Beasts! project has fired the imaginations of luminaries such as Craig Thompson, Souther Salazar, Jeff Soto, Glenn Barr, Dave Cooper, Tim Biskup, Seonna Hong, Jeremy Fish and Jay Ryan, who will present never-before-seen art completely original to this book, superbly laid out in breathtaking, full-color two-page spreads.

Beasts collects many of the best  visual artists from the worlds of comics, skateboarding, rock graphics, science-fiction, children's books, commercial and fine art. The book is conceived and designed by Jacob Covey, lead art director for Fantagraphics (Popeye, Billy Hazelnuts, etc.) and a well-regarded designer and artist in his own right in the Northwest rock and arts community. Other contributors include: Anders Nilsen, Art Chantry, Brian Chippendale, Brian Ralph, Bwana Spoons, Colleen Coover, Jason Miles, Jesse LeDoux, Johnny Ryan, Jordan Crane, Keith Shore, Kevin Scalzo, Marc Bell, Martin Cendreda, Mat Brinkman, R. Kikuo Johnson, Richard Sala, Sammy Harkham, Stan Sakai, S. Britt, Steven Weissman, Ted Jouflas, Tom Gauld and many more
