Disappointingly scant content.......2002-10-09
I know I'm going to anger some of the folks who really believe in this book, but I was really disappointed with how slim and scant the educational content was. There are very many black and white illustrations of the students' work related to Itten's teachings. And his outlook is very pure and creative. I really enjoyed that aspect of this book, but expected more meat! I wanted to know more specifically about conflict. I wanted him to go deeper. As it is, he brings up a well ordered set of concepts, explains them clearly and then moves on. In my opinion this book is wildly overpriced. I probably would give it four stars had it only cost me between seven and fifteen dollars. At thirty and change it's not worth it.
lighting the creative spark in everyone.......2001-07-18
This book is not a step by step syllabus to follow blindly. Itten wrote this book to share the fundamental principles that he taught all his students (no matter how advanced) before allowing them to pursue higher classes and goals at his school.
The book is broken down into sections that (to anyone who's had art training) seem simple enough: chiaroscuro, form, color, rhythm, etc. but Itten teaches not so much the technical aspect of art as a new way of seeing the world, a way of creating from the whole body and mind, not just with a paintbrush (or computer graphics program).
The sections are all punctuated with many examples of student work that relate to the topic covered. Often, it is these examples that really drive his points home.
Just as Itten believed that everyone was capable of being creative and thought the basic course was valuable to all levels of art students and even teachers, this book is applicable for both those who are looking for an introduction into creating, and those who consider themselves expert artists already. I guarantee there will be at least one idea in the book to make you stop and ponder and suddenly challenge your way of thinking on the matter.
Itten is a god, bow down........2001-04-27
Itten made the world as we know it today. Without his guidence, none of the products you buy, art you look at, or anything else would be what it is today. If you are a designer or art monger, you owe it to yourself to read this book. It is a discription of his Basic Course (everyone had to take it...) at the Bauhaus in Weimar written by Itten himself.
Book Description
The foremost color problem identified by artists lies in the mixing of greens. They want to be able to mix grays, oranges, browns and violets of course, but first of all greens.
Our eyes are very sensitive to green and we can identify a vast range. Artists need access to this range if their work is to be at all realistic. Apart from a few standard premixed greens, the result is often very much trial and error.
This pocket sized book, in our 'Color Notes' series, offers the artist and craft worker instant access to a vast range of easily mixed, predictable greens. Using a simple step by step approach the reader is shown how to produce yellow-greens, blue-greens, bright, dull, vivid, opaque and transparent greens. Then how to make any of these lighter or darker. Not only is full information given on the mixing of the colors, but the book also offers a reference when seeking instant color guidance. Suitable for any media.

Book Description
Tomassi's debut book of poetry - "to help us feel the cold seeping through a father's glove as he guides his children's sled...'sand, lime and portland', the musical might not feel like a big accomplishment to a poet convinced that we "neither destroy nor create, but only shift atoms,... But it puts us close enough to feel the blister rising under the hammer he once held... Eerie echoes of the clanking, creaking, roaring and whistles that Tchaikovsky'd as Papa lobbed looks at the kid...In every clank and bellow , an old haunt lay in wait: Lower East Side.. stuggled to pinpoint absurdieties and frustrations of modern-day employment.."
Customer Reviews:
Out of the ordinary.......2001-10-13
These poems find meaning, beauty, and mystery in the ordinary. Tomassi's curious eye, compassion, and spot-on imagery make this collection an impressive debut.

what the hell!.......2000-04-01
I spent years mixing Portland cement. By hand. In a wheelbarrow. This book ranges from the finest pebbles to the coarsest rocks. The briefness of the poems provides the sand. The glare of the subject matter induced tears. I read the whole thing. When I was done... no blisters! And the years have soaked my hands like so much dish detergent. Anyhow... read it without fear.

Mixing Cement.......2000-03-24
Mixing Cement has a true down to earth quality, and yet is aspirational in its imagery. You get a sense of place and time and persona when you read Tomassi's poetry that is immediately identifiable and refreshing. You are instantly transported into his poetry, as if you suddenly became a character in a movie you were watching. If you are into discovering new bright voices in the nebulous, modern-American poetry lanscape, then get Tomassi's book.

Helpful guide.......2001-05-22
This handy book is a useful guide to color intensity and color mixing by the use of color charts. The color charts display the ratio of each color needed to achieve the desired shade or tone. While I have taken a few classes, color mixing has always been accidental rather than intentional. Although it does not take the place of continued practice or trial and error, this Barron handbook steers the painter to the right mix. Also, included is a bit of information on theory and colors. However, it is limited. Overall, this convenient little guide is a helpful tool for the beginner.

A Terrible Introuction to a New Author.......2007-07-02
As a high school English teacher, I spend my summers catching up on my pleasure reading, looking for new author's works to explore, reading some adult literature, and simply relaxing and getting lost in a good book.
I had never read a book by this author before, and after reading this story, I have no desire to read any others. This book was predictable in every since of the word. Before reading a passage, I could acurately predict what the characters would say/do. I could skip pages and still not miss out on any of the action. Every literary facet of the novel left a lot to be desired. For example, Characters were shallow and not well developed. The langauge was trite, and in many instances, quite ridiculous. (Would my 60 year old father - or any other 60 yr. old man I now - really use "Boo Yaw" as his catch phrase? I think not!) The descriptions of the intimate acts that took place between Ryan and Kelly bordered on hilarious, and some were even quite gross.
Because I hate to start a novel and not finish, I plowed on to the end. The time it took for me to read the book (3 days) was because of a lack of interest in the book instead of the complexity of characters/storyline and the riveting nature of the action.
Very sweet love story.......2006-09-09
I enjoyed Ryan's and Kelly's story, it was a good read on healing from past loves and moving on. The first in the Blackstone series gives a nice introduction to the rest of the family therefore it would be better, not required though, to read them in order. Jeremy's story is up next and is better than Ryan's with Sheldon's story so far being the best.
A Summer of hot love that lasts a lifetime.......2006-04-13

Lost One Gain Another.......2005-09-12

His son became his life but when he meets Kelly Andrews he knows there is something special about her and while he is determined to figure out what it could be he also starts the game of playing for keeps.
Rochelle Alers introduces you to a few other members of the family and leaves you waiting for more to come with the next installment of The Blackstone's of Virginia.

Long Hot Summer.......2001-04-18
I loved this book cause I am a Dawson's Creek fan.It was a very good book. It gives good detels. I could even hear the characters realy talking. They made it seam so real. I realy liked it so much it made me want to go buy the other books that where also great.I wish they would make more books though.
This book was great. The characters were off the wall. BUYIT.......1999-10-04
This book was great. Even though I love the show and it really wouldn't matter to me if it was good or bad, I still think that it was sensational. I couldn't put it down when I started reading it.The story had alot of twists to it,so anyone can enjoy it. If you truly ARE a Dawsons Creek fan, then this book is a must. Buy it while it last. And trust me, you will want to read it over and over again.
totally cool.......1999-08-29
I realy liked this book but i thought the scenes with dawson and joey got a bit boring but i loved the parts with pacy and jen they were the best and the ending was good too. I think this book is likeable becouse it has many themes.
Love It!.......1999-04-18
I s'ppose my view is a bit bias, since I adore the show, and even if it were bad I'd still love it. But, I have read lots of fan fiction in my time, and I have to admit, I've read better DC stories.
Captivating, moving book that is hard to put down.......1998-10-09
After seeing the TV programme, I had to read the book. It is amazing, I found it hard to put down. The characters are so real and the different themes are portrayed realisticly. A must for all, fans or not!!!

Casanova Vol. 1: Luxuria
ASIN: 158240559X |
Book Description
Alone amidst a crowd of Southern California mods obsessed with scooters, soul and style, nobody takes Ken seriously. He mooches everything from rides to cigarettes to meals - usually from his best friend, Steve. But that's all about to change. Ken has just met the girl of his dreams. Too bad she only has eyes for Steve. It's going to be a long, hot summer.
Customer Reviews:
STYLE, yes. SUBSTANCE, not much........2007-09-17
This graphic novel was recommended to me by a number of generally respected sources, so I was looking forward to it. The mod scene in graphic novel form? What's not to like, so I thought. Unfortunately, this one is just a lengthy and decidedly uninspired love triangle with some really forced dialogue. Generally, I buy into the whole teenage melodrama thing, but this effort is so dull and lacking in realism that it just sort of sits there. The art isn't much to speak of either, but it's really the lack of plot and predictable "teenagers arguing" chatter that keeps this one from being anything of note.
The Girl Who Can Be Bad.......2006-07-14
The Long Hot Summer is about a Mod-group of early-twentysomethings who seemed to be having difficulty growing out of old skin that is high school. Steve is a nice guy who tries to stay a nice guy even when Ken's suppose-to-be girlfriend, Ashley, comes between them. Only incidentally though, she wasn't expecting Ken to have such a cool, attractive best friend. Niether did Steve think that Ken's girlfriend was going to be so hot. The best he could do is distance himself from the pair and nobody seems to let him. Pushing and prodding by his whole group makes him doubt his better judgement. He ends up lying to everyone about everything. Ken, as well, is so needy of everyone he comes to contact with that he can't stop thinking about Ashley (who can't take Ken seriously, by the way) and Ken can't stopping mooching and manipulating his best friend Steve. Ashley isn't hard to understand, she thought Ken was cute (mind you when a girl thinks your cute she could mean one of two things- 1. she could think that your attractive in the cute sense or 2. you're has cute as a puppy. The bad-cute. Guys don't want to be bad-cute, their pretty much disposable. Ken was bad-cute. Who can blame Ashley for thinking that? Ken is in a sense bad news and for more reasons than Ken's and Steve's circle of friends can point out. Though she does decide to go for Steve although his problems are less obvious. Steve comes to a conclusion that he wanted to avoid about his long hot summer about the whole mess reluctantly. The writing and graphics never skip a beat from each and the characters stay true to form. A good read I can't get enough of The Long Hot Summer.
NICE COOL READ.......2006-01-03
LONG HOT SUMMER is an exceptional graphic novel about real people in a complex situation. It begins as a standard love triangle: uncool guy (Ken) meets very cool girl (Ashley), introduces her to his cooler friend (Steve), and a rivalry develops. What sets LONG HOT SUMMER apart from other books in this genre, though, is its honesty. The reader's sympathy is not diverted to the usual, expected places. Rather, writer Eric Stephenson holds back any moral judgments in favor of showing his characters merely as they are, warts and all. Ken has deeper emotional issues than your standard put-upon no-hoper, while Steve is essentially a good guy who doesn't always follow his best instincts. And Ashley? Well, Ashley is still a bit of an enigma, but that could be because neither of the boys takes the time to understand her. This is a story about guys, and so the flaws in her portrayal are the flaws in their perception. It's a difficult line for the writer to walk, as it could be viewed as a cop-out by those who don't want look deeper themselves and see how the choice comments on the overall theme.
Another unique aspect of LONG HOT SUMMER is its setting. Stephenson doesn't nail down a date, but judging by certain references, we can assume it's the early to mid-`80s. The boys are part of the Southern California mod scene, meaning they spend a lot of time fixing up old Italian scooters and digging through record bins for obscure soul 45s. Steve, in particular, is one of the main scenesters, known for his impeccable taste in tunes and his stylish wardrobe. This is where artist Jamie McKelvie gets to shine--in the many details of the trio's social world, from the posters on the wall down to the stitching on the breast of a shirt. Such attention to detail is also his failing, however. Oftentimes a gesture or an expression can appear too labored over, making the characters stiff and lifeless. Thankfully, the dialogue is so crisp, it keeps such moments moving and the story never stops cold.
