But the technical and aesthetic challenges of waterside construction place unique demands on the builder. Through exquisite photography and detailed architectural plans, this volume explores innovative residential designs from around the globe to illustrate how top architectural firms have met those challenges and created some of the most strikingly beautiful homes in the world.

21 Architects made proud.......2006-03-25

My compliments to both Ana and Harper Design for this publication. This is a book about 21 uniquely Modern homes on the waterfront. Each is showcased with a floor plan, quick synopsis, and photos. It is mostly a picturebook. One of the wonderful things about this book is that it presents itself as a portfolio. You get the sense that such a presentation was handled with the sense of care and understanding that each architect himself would have put into representing his/her house had they done them individually. Unlike other books showcasing Modern architecture, this one provides a good range of solutions architects have employed to capture that "million-dollar view", whether it is siting, materials, or spatial organization. I would have rated it higher had it given the details to compliment the photography. This is a wonderful addition to any architectural library.

Book Description

Everyone loves chibi, the newest, hottest manga style out of Asia. Chibis—characters that range from hypercute miniature people to bizarrely sexy furry characters—come in all varieties, all roles, including chibi teenagers, faeries, schoolgirls, nurses, mermaids, devils, angels, and everyone in between. Now Christopher Hart, the world's best-selling author of cartoon and drawing titles, shows readers exactly how to darw chibis, infusing them with personality and creating authentic costumes for them. Cute chibi-style monsters (small yet powerful), appealing cat-girls (humanlike, but with feline traits), superdeformed manga/chibi characters (used to make funny wisecracks)—every type of chibi character is shown here in crystal clear, step-by-step drawings. Manga Mania Chibi and Furry Characters will get every manga fan in on the chibi fun.

Chibinate me Capin'.......2007-06-22

WARNING: This book is not for beginers. There are few step by step instructions, the rest you have to figure out on your own. (you lazy people)

For those who are not beginers, this book goes fairly deep into the world of Chibi characters. It shows basics in body structures and facial expressions.

It also touches bases on many catgirl body types.
I feel this book gives you a wide variety of ideas that you can use to create catgirls.

All and all this is one of Mr. Hart's better books. One of the facts is that he put less of his style into this book. Which causes it to become more manga, not americanized/manga that he usually draws.

Which is a good thing.

I really like the section in the back about stylized chibi's from Japan.

Manga Mania's Chibi and Furry Characters is really a must have for Manga Arists........2007-06-08

I myself personally have difficulty drawing chibi character's. This book is very thorough with the basic how to's of drawing chibis. IT even teaches you to think outside out the box when creating fantastical little monsters. I highly recommend this book.

Awesome and Helpful BOOK!!!!.......2007-03-19

OMG! This was the best how-to book i have ever READ!!!!! It is so thorough. I could draw everything, and it came out near perfection. My friends loved, I loved, and heck, my GRANDFATHER loved it! He thought it was really, really good, in terms of teaching you how to draw! I loved it, and recommend it to everyone! The book shows you step by step how to draw cat-girls (beautiful) and cute tropical girl/chibi/cat-girl and other adorable creatures. It teaches you when to use super-deformed characters, and uses cute drawings (eg, questionable little angel (my fave!) to enable you to use different, effective techniques! This is chock-full of great things!

Great for artists' of all age groups!.......2007-01-05

Chistopher Hart has truly out done himself with this book,as well as his other book fantasy worlds. In this book, Hart gives you examples of teaching you how to draw chibi characters as well as telling you what makes a chibi a chibi. A great thing about this book is that they have a large section of how to draw a variety of cat girls!!! That was my most favorite part! I really enjoyed this book alot, and as a bonus I will give you the run down of what to expect in the book....

The chibi form of that person shows great expression, as well as hillarity. Plus chibis are ultra cute! This book is a perfect add on to any how to draw collection. I definitely recommend this book to any artist, whether beginner or intermediate, this book is extremely helpful. A must buy!

Book Description

Get ready for a book of (nearly) unheard-of proportions! Chibi - super-deformed, small-bodied... whatever you call 'em - are one of the major elements of comedy (and even semi-serious) manga, and no manga artist's education is complete without knowing how to draw 'em! Antarctic's top talents give you the lowdown on the low-down, from stubby limbs to oversize heads and everything in between! It's the biggest book ever about manga's smallest characters!

Customer Reviews:

Excellent source.......2006-01-23

This was available before Chris Hart's Chibi/Furry book and although I looked over it once, I ended up getting Hart's first. Hart has a lot of good art in his, but since purchasing this book I found it to have better instruction and poses. Actually, I recommend just getting both books. There are so many instructional books out there for manga and anime, I don't know why there aren't more for Chibis. It's such a popular style of drawing that I wish there was more art books.

Don't bother getting this book. Instead, try Christopher Hart's other book in the manga mania series titled "Chibi and Furry characters." It's much better in terms of likeness to actual japanese animation artwork.

Draw Manga Chibi! (Xtreme Art) .......2006-02-25

not for beginner artist its just a coloring book ... although I admire Mr. Hart for his other books which I give most of them ( 5 ) starts ... I think this book is just a small piece of cake for kids to have fun ... BUT its not a DRAW book

Great book for my kids.......2005-12-20

My kids absolutely loved this book. This book has 60 pages of drawings which created a great deal of fun for my kids and I. It was alot of entertainment for the dollar!

I was concerned about the last reviewer stating that there were "millions of errors" which would translate to well over 16,000 errors on each page! Luckily my daughters and I found none We loved it!!

Book Description

Man is a stunning collection of photographs to celebrate all that is beautiful in the male naked body. Four leading photographers - Trevor Watson, Tony Butcher, Za-Hazzanani, and Toni Catany - have contributed to this volume, each bringing an individual style to their subject, but all expressing pleasure in the physical symmetry, joyful sexuality, and quintessential maleness of their subjects. The female nude has long been accepted - even revered - in the art world and culture at large, an acceptance that the male nude has rarely enjoyed. Once the dominant ideal for the ancient Greeks and artists of the Italian Renaissance, images of the male nude have since been regarded as carrying a cultural burden. man - and the artists whose work is showcased herein - seeks to redress the balance with this superb collection of frank and honest images of the male nude for the enjoyment of all. AUTHORBIO: Trevor Watson's has appeared widely in UK magazines and gallery exhibitions. Tony Butcher's work has been widely published and exhibited around the world. Za-Hazzanani has had her work printed in various magazines and exhibited in the UK. Toni Catany is an award winning artist with over 100 one-man shows to his credit. Catany lives in Barcelona and the rest live in the UK.

Celebrating the Male Nude.......2005-03-10

MAN: PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE MALE NUDE is not trying to be an erotic book of suggestive poses or innuendoes. The works of four male photographers -Trevor Watson, Tony Butcher, and Toni Catany - and the lone female photographer Za-Hazzanani are well presented in both black and white and sepia toned images and are more sculptural than expository.

The apparent intent of these photographers (or of the editor) is to present the nude male form as an art object and in doing so each of these fine photographers has succeeded in exploring muscle mass as it reflects or absorbs light and shadow. The models are of the 'ideal' sort and there is no pretense to encourage us to get to know the inner workings of the models' response to the art of photography. These fine photographs are more about Objective then Subjective, and in that stance they flow in this beautiful portfolio with an elegant sophistication. Grady Harp, March 05

Nothing New and Interesting Here.......2004-07-16

I cannot get very excited about this volume of male nudes by four photographers. They are Trevor Watson, Tony Butcher, Za-hazzanani and Toni Catany. It should be pointed out, I suppose, that Za-hazzanani is a woman photographer, not that it makes any difference that I can ascertain in the quality of her work. My biggest objection here is that there is a tremendous sameness to the shots. For example, I would be hard put to tell the difference between Watson and Butcher's work if Butcher didn't just do black males. Many of the photographs are framed and composed nicely and beautifully printed; but the models could be made of marble. There's hardly a live one in the bunch. Mr. Catany's photos are sepia in color and grainy. At least you know which pictures are his, but I find his images no more interesting than those by the three other photographers.

Finally many of these photographs consist only of body parts with an inordinate number of close-up shots of someone's rear. There are very few images here of complete bodies-- feet, hands, legs-- the head bone connected to the neck bone-- as the old Spiritual goes. If only these bones could rise again.

There are many fine books of photography of male nudes on the market that will excite and inspire you. This one sadly is not one of them. Three stars is most generous, aka the Gentle Person's C.

Boring collection of stiff and formulaic poses........2001-10-09

Let's start with the good things. This collection is composed of high-quality images, well produced and well presented. The paper is high quality and the binding good. It is a good coffee-table book that won't offend many people.

The bad parts are legion, and I'm grateful that I was baought this book as a gift. I would have felt cheated if I'd bought it myself. Why? Well, firstly there are too many images of black men. This may be fine if you like oil-smeared, shiny black muscles but not if, like me, you are not a great admirer of photograhps of black men. This may not be the "PC" thing to say, but coming from England I'm not, thankfully, gagged by this most objectionable of American crazes. (It's an interesting thought that one is able to make all sorts of negative comments about pretty-boys or muscle-hunks, but say a negative word about black models and the wishy-wahsy liberals get their hair in a tizz).

Secondly, the poses are formulaic. They're stiff, uninteresting, mostly body-shots. There is little eye-contact with the models, and if there is they look totally bored by the whole process. How is it that Mapplethorpe managed to get so much more from these sort of poses?

None of the models even dares to smile - not even a small wry smile. As a viewer I'm totally uninvoled with the book. I'm not invited in to free my erotic imagination. I received this book at the same time I got Hoffman's book of pictures of Johan Paulik, and that book is the other side of the coin. I would happily leave this book out on the coffee table in the hope that someone would ask to borrow it and fail to return it. I would chain the book of Paulik photographs to the floor to stop it leaving the house.

Conventional notions of male beauty.......2001-03-16

The guys in this book are muscled, often faceless, and not yet middle-aged. Some of them have oiled skin, or are wet. This is doctrinaire stuff: fairly routine gay male erotica (albeit rated PG-13 - because detumescent.) There's a stultifying sensibility amidst the 'come-hither' poses and angles in use here. The Mapplethorpian conventions are all here: buttocks, genitals, abs, biceps, quads. No eye contact. I was bored, because I had hoped for interesting photography,and a sense of the human beings inside the bodies - and instead got a parade of 'perfect' physiques -in conventional poses.

A Different & Sexy Approach!.......2000-12-07

I was really impressed with this new book of black & white & sepia-tone photographs of nude male models by four leading photographers who are not as well-known as some of the top professional photographers (Weber, Ritts, Gorman, etc) we all know today, but who should be. "Man" is a stunning collection of beautiful photographs showcasing these four photographers who all have their very own individual style. There are over 150 pages of photographs presented here, a section for each artist.

Za-Hazzanani's photographs I found to be my favorite. She has a unique way of using the right lighting and of posing the models in such a way that they are very erotic and pleasing to the senses. That's not to say I didn't enjoy the other photographers images. Tony Butcher's beautiful photographs of nude black males are truly stunning, and his work reminds me a lot of Mapplethorpe's. Trevor Watson also showcases many black male models using light and shadows to highlight and sensual his images in just the right way. Toni Catany uses old calotype printing techniques which give his photographs of the nude male body intensity and a moody texture that makes them all seem like old photographs.

There is a wonderful introduction by Paul Ryan who gives a history of the development of male nude photography and it's gradual acceptance over the years. You'll also find a section of biographical notes on all the photographer's featured in this book. I enjoyed this collection from these four photographers I didn't know before, and this was a welcome introduction to their work. This is a frank and honest presentation of nude male models shown in a different and sexy way!

If you love Vaughn Bode.......2006-03-04

This book is good if you already own other works by Vaughn Bode and love them. The strips in this book are short individual works. Many of the strips in here were created as advertisments for a record label. If you are already a collector of Bode's work get this book, otherwise I'd get Junkwaffle, Cheech Wizard, Schizophrenia, or Deadbone.

You have to be a collector...........2001-07-23

Okay, so I actually LOVE this book. But, that's because I'm a collector. Anytime a new collection of Vaughn's work comes out, I've not much choice BUT to love it.

This particular book collects a lot of the random strips, advertisements, and unfinished works Vaughn had kicking around. Pretty much everything that hadn't already been put into one of the previous collections (all of which are far superior). Sadly, this book comes off as an excuse to make some more money off the late, great, cartoon guru.

But, I'm okay with that. There's still plently to enjoy. My particular favorites being the four page "lizard zen" section and "the Amorous Adventures of Puck" (the only previously unpublished material in this volume)

If you are NOT a collector - BECOME ONE! (just kidding). Go get some of his stuff and you just might become one, though.

If you're a first timer, try starting with one of the "Erotica" books or the first "Cheech Wizard" collection.
