Tracing a global journey through the history and culture of tattoo art, Chris Wroblewski’s new book is a stunning visual document. Above all, it is a book about people and personalities—here skinheads, circus freaks, Buddhist monks, tattoo fetishists, and slightly more ordinary individuals all reveal their obsessions with and dedication to the ritual of ink and pain. Chris Wroblewski is considered to be the foremost photographer of tattoo art.

This book is broken down into three core areas: color, type, and materials. <P>The color section opens with a historical look at the colors pallets that have dominated each decade from 1900 through to the end of the century and is followed by an extensive collection of graphic work whose use of color has driven the design of that piece. Whether bold or subtle, symbolic or clich?, each piece is inspired and well crafted. <P>The type section opens in the same manner as the color section but focuses on the various fonts that have been popular over the decades. This feature offers readers the ability to use accurate historical design treatments in their work for appropriate projects. This section is followed by a collection of 12 top designers from around the world who are known for their powerful use of type including: Jonathan Barnbrook, Typerware, Plazm Media, Smay Vision, Fred Woodward / Rolling Stone magazine, and DJ Stout. <P>The final section of the book takes a look at a wide array of innovative graphic design pieces that have incorporated imaginative materials to convey powerful messages, and connect with audiences on a deeper level. This exceptional collection, from fur-covered books to Christmas cards stitched on men?s briefs, clearly demonstrates the remarkable power that designers have to engender wonder, excitement, and a sense of ownership, in today's consumers. <P>An invaluable resource for fresh ideas, Breaking Designer?s Block will stimulate and inspire designers to open their minds--and their art--to create work that is memorable, thought provoking and visually driven.<br/ style="clear:both"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1592530427?tag=buymbt-shoes-20"><b> Readmore </b></a></p><span id="fullpost"><span class="fullpost"><h2>Technical Details</h2><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1592530427?tag=buymbt-shoes-20"><b>See more technical details </b></a><br/><img src="http://155auto.lifeforhealth.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom" border="0" /><br/><div style="background-color: #CCCCCC; height: 13px; width: 60px; float: left;"><div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.lifeforhealth.com/images/starbg.gif); width:24px; height:13px; float: left;"><div style="height: 13px; width: 60px; float: left; background-image: url(http://155auto.lifeforhealth.com/images/star.png);" > </div></div></div> <span class=rating>"Awful 'type tracker' section"</span> <span class=reviewdate>2005-05-18</span><br>By <b>Benjamin Archer</b> (Auckland, New Zealand)<br>While there are a lot of very nice case studies in this book, and the notes on colour usage are probably worth the cover price, the type tracker section is just plain wrong.

Winter</b><br>This book is a wonderful collection of stories from real, everyday women who have ink and are not freaks for it. It gives voice to those who proudly carry ink, even if we sometimes have to cover it to maintain propriety in an office setting. It even helps those who are not inked and have preconceived notions about inked women understand where we are comming from. <br /><br />I have been inked for several years, to the great distress and/or confusion of family and friends. I was the only one in my family to have ink until two months ago, and very few friends of mine have any. I have actually given this book as a gift to family to help them see that it isn't so radical after all. <br /><br />I have always been interested in tattoos in an anthropological way as well, and this book gives great insight into the "why" so many different women get inked, and why they have no shame in their art. It shows how very false the taboos surrounding women and tattoos are.<br><br><img src="http://155auto.lifeforhealth.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom" border="0" /><br/><div style="background-color: #CCCCCC; height: 13px; width: 60px; float: left;"><div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.lifeforhealth.com/images/starbg.gif); width:12px; height:13px; float: left;"><div style="height: 13px; width: 60px; float: left; background-image: url(http://155auto.lifeforhealth.com/images/star.png);" > </div></div></div> <span class=rating>"Chicks aren't what they used to be"</span> <span class=reviewdate>2008-06-26</span><br>By <b>Slipping Beauty</b> (Ohio, USA)<br>Chick Ink: 40 Stories of Tattoos--and the Women Who Wear Them <br /><br /><br /><br />My illusions are ruined by this book.

The boring, overemotional and vapid stories in this book about why these women chose their tattoos were embarrassing to read. As I read, I thought that the sort of cloying, juvenile pseudo-significance these "chicks" attached to the ink they chose to have injected into their skin is why men often have a hard time taking women seriously and why Generation X appears to older folks as a bunch of idiots with too much disposable income.<br /><br /><br /><br />There is one story in the book about one of these women--no doubt a caucasian--getting the Japanese letters for "transience" tattooed into her skin essentially because she had a degree in Japanese Studies and because she had some rudimentary grasp on the "cosmic" concept of impermanence. The ironic humor of the story is multi-layered and, I'm sure, completely lost on the writer. <br /><br /><br /><br />Is anyone else tired of all these books where someone calls for "submissions" and then compiles them?

Winter</b><br>This book is a wonderful collection of stories from real, everyday women who have ink and are not freaks for it. It gives voice to those who proudly carry ink, even if we sometimes have to cover it to maintain propriety in an office setting. It even helps those who are not inked and have preconceived notions about inked women understand where we are comming from. <br /><br />I have been inked for several years, to the great distress and/or confusion of family and friends. I was the only one in my family to have ink until two months ago, and very few friends of mine have any. I have actually given this book as a gift to family to help them see that it isn't so radical after all. <br /><br />I have always been interested in tattoos in an anthropological way as well, and this book gives great insight into the "why" so many different women get inked, and why they have no shame in their art. It shows how very false the taboos surrounding women and tattoos are.<br><br><img src="http://155auto.lifeforhealth.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom" border="0" /><br/><div style="background-color: #CCCCCC; height: 13px; width: 60px; float: left;"><div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.lifeforhealth.com/images/starbg.gif); width:12px; height:13px; float: left;"><div style="height: 13px; width: 60px; float: left; background-image: url(http://155auto.lifeforhealth.com/images/star.png);" > </div></div></div> <span class=rating>"Chicks aren't what they used to be"</span> <span class=reviewdate>2008-06-26</span><br>By <b>Slipping Beauty</b> (Ohio, USA)<br>Chick Ink: 40 Stories of Tattoos--and the Women Who Wear Them <br /><br /><br /><br />My illusions are ruined by this book.

The boring, overemotional and vapid stories in this book about why these women chose their tattoos were embarrassing to read. As I read, I thought that the sort of cloying, juvenile pseudo-significance these "chicks" attached to the ink they chose to have injected into their skin is why men often have a hard time taking women seriously and why Generation X appears to older folks as a bunch of idiots with too much disposable income.<br /><br /><br /><br />There is one story in the book about one of these women--no doubt a caucasian--getting the Japanese letters for "transience" tattooed into her skin essentially because she had a degree in Japanese Studies and because she had some rudimentary grasp on the "cosmic" concept of impermanence. The ironic humor of the story is multi-layered and, I'm sure, completely lost on the writer. <br /><br /><br /><br />Is anyone else tired of all these books where someone calls for "submissions" and then compiles them? This one is one of the worst I've read.<br><br><img src="http://155auto.lifeforhealth.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom" border="0" /><br/><div style="background-color: #CCCCCC; height: 13px; width: 60px; float: left;"><div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.lifeforhealth.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px; float: left;"><div style="height: 13px; width: 60px; float: left; background-image: url(http://155auto.lifeforhealth.com/images/star.png);" > </div></div></div> <span class=rating>"Hey patriarch does god tell you to judge?"</span> <span class=reviewdate>2008-02-06</span><br>By <b>lb</b> (sunny sw fla)<br>Patriarch you did not read the book so stop preaching to people.

Foster</b> (Southern California)<br>I met Sam Steward around 1983 when he was quite elderly and I wonder what his friends would have to say about these reviews. I think most of the reviews are kind to him and the only real negativity I see are those in which the authors came to the book expecting a strictly scholarly work. Sam Steward wasn't a researcher in the classic social science sense. He was an energetic scholar, but his greatest interest was in the creation of literature, not in sifting through haystacks of facts to find new scientific insights.<br /><br /><br /><br />I read this book shortly after I met Sam. I was actually more familiar with him as a writer of gay erotica, but this book tells you more about the kind of man Sam was. He had deep curiosities about the underlying psychological motivations of people and that's really the area in which he spent most of his time. That curiosity it typical of people who enjoy writing and his look into this subculture, one could speculate, is like one the instances any writer takes in which they journey into an objective investigation, knowing they are mining information and insights that will later inform their true love, writing fiction.<br /><br /><br /><br />There's no doubt Sam took this investigation seriously, but it was never his intention to apply the level or scientific rigor one would expect of someone of the status of Alfred Kinsey. What he did at Kinsey's request was to describe a world, a microcosm, that would give Kinsey enough information to determine if a larger and more serious study was warranted. There weren't focus groups walking into Sam's tattoo parlor responding to a call for papers. They were rough and alienated men, drunks with their defenses down, kids in rebellions, frustrated people acting out. It takes an entertaining personality to get these people to say what they say and Sam Steward, if anything, was a decidely entertaining man; a storyteller who could keep a roomful of people enthralled with his vivid, if not naughty, descriptions of the extremes in society that are right under our very noses; extremes most people cannot see.<br /><br /><br /><br />I've thought about this book a many, many times; practically every time I see a tattoo. Getting inked has never appealed to me but Sam's understanding of it most certainly does appeal to me. Even two decades after reading it, some things I remember from it make me smile and laugh out loud. There's a kind of deep-seated validation of humanness here that I think will serve many who read this. This isn't a book for everyone, but one thing that can be said is that there's more to it than the average person knows. It's art that goes deeper than the skin.<br><br><img src="http://155auto.lifeforhealth.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom" border="0" /><br/><div style="background-color: #CCCCCC; height: 13px; width: 60px; float: left;"><div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.lifeforhealth.com/images/starbg.gif); width:36px; height:13px; float: left;"><div style="height: 13px; width: 60px; float: left; background-image: url(http://155auto.lifeforhealth.com/images/star.png);" > </div></div></div> <span class=rating>"Curiosity Piece"</span> <span class=reviewdate>2006-11-01</span><br>By <b>Lew Troop</b> (Kansas)<br>This interesting book comes from an era that is now far gone. As a child, just after WWII, I saw men with, primarily, service tattoos and wanted one. It was carefully explained to me that "nice men" did not get tattooed and that the service tattoos weren't truly tattoos but the equivalent of service stripes. As a six year old child I found this confusing. <br /><br /><br /><br />What Dr. Steward has done is gathered impressions of what it was like to be a tattooist circa 1950 on to about 1970. His portraits of sleazy interior malls and the persons who frequented them are chillingly real as are the sad impressions of his clientele. <br /><br /><br /><br />For me, still un-inked, the larger story here is the conversion from the groves of Academe to the existence of a journeyman tattoo artist. We have his intellectual observations, as well his intimate relationship with the Kinsey Institute,to provide not only a look at the deductive logic behind getting a tattoo, at least at a certain socio-economic level then, are revelatory but perhaps only to then.<br /><br /><br /><br />The wide spread acceptance of tattooing today (the last statistic I read said over 35% of men today have one)make this interesting reading if not germane to lifestyles today. Yet it has substance and to those with a taste for not only tattooing but the sexual implications, this will confirm much of what may have been thought. Dr. Steward's open acknowledgment of his sexual preferences de-fuses any leering speculation as to what might really have been his motives. <br /><br /><br /><br />Still, for those who want an atmospheric, well constructed picture of an era, this book will fill in your urge to return to the "greaser" age. And for those of us who wanted one, but were denied, perhaps liberate our minds to, now, go get what we wanted then. If I had the hair, give me a flat top with a D.A.

Samuel Steward became a tattoo artist but kept his scholarly mind working as he did so upon the urging of Kinsey, yes, that Alfred Kinsey. The result many years later is this book. Part history, part personal recollection, and part social sciences, this is an interesting and easy to read book. If you don't except detailed interviews with people or rigorous research protocols you won't be disappointed. I think the first half of the book which focuses on what he observed is much better than the second more "historical" half. It could use photos and a better spine to hold the book together.<br><br><img src="http://155auto.lifeforhealth.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom" border="0" /><br/><div style="background-color: #CCCCCC; height: 13px; width: 60px; float: left;"><div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.lifeforhealth.com/images/starbg.gif); width:24px; height:13px; float: left;"><div style="height: 13px; width: 60px; float: left; background-image: url(http://155auto.lifeforhealth.com/images/star.png);" > </div></div></div> <span class=rating>"Steer clear: an amateur work"</span> <span class=reviewdate>2002-08-22</span><br>By <b>Quickhappy</b> (Big city, big country)<br>As a scholar of what might be called outsiders, I was eager to read this work on tatooing.

Tattoo's in the 50's & 60's apparently were taboo except for the underbelly of life. Looking at how they are accepted today as opposed to then is astounding. The syndicate was even involved in the 50's. The book actually had me laughing out loud at some of the situations this highly educated man faced when he gave up teaching English at a major university and took up tattooing. If you have any interest in tattoo's be sure to purchas this one.<br><br> <br/><b>Images Product</b><br/><a target ='_blank' href='http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51HM8GE71VL.jpg'><img src='http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51HM8GE71VL.jpg' width='240px' border='0' /></a><br/><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0918393760?tag=buymbt-shoes-20"><font size="2"><b>Buy Bad Boys and Tough Tattoos: A Social History of the Tattoo With Gangs, Sailors and Street-Corner Punks, 1950-1965 (Haworth Series in Gay & Lesbian Studies) Now </b></font></a></p>eee pc 1000http://www.blogger.com/profile/06810353325337885280noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711426558619939776.post-37795597238304677072010-05-14T23:36:00.001-07:002010-05-14T23:36:18.905-07:00Bad Boys and Tough Tattoos: A Social History of the Tattoo With Gangs, Sailors, and Street-Corner Punks, 1950-1965 (Haworth Gay & Lesbian Studies)<p><center><b>Buy Cheap Bad Boys and Tough Tattoos: A Social History of the Tattoo With Gangs, Sailors, and Street-Corner Punks, 1950-1965 (Haworth Gay & Lesbian Studies) </b></center><br/><center><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1560240237?tag=buymbt-shoes-20"><img src='http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51NRB1PDENL.jpg' height='300'></a><br/><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1560240237?tag=buymbt-shoes-20"><font size="5"><b>Buy Low Price From Here Now </b></font></a></center><br/>Explore the dark subculture of 1950s tattoos!</br></br>In the early 1950s, when tattoos were the indelible mark of a lowlife, an erudite professor of English--a friend of Gertrude Stein, Thomas Mann, Andre Gide, and Thornton Wilder--abandoned his job to become a tattoo artist (and incidentally a researcher for Alfred Kinsey).

Part history, part personal recollection, and part social sciences, this is an interesting and easy to read book. If you don't except detailed interviews with people or rigorous research protocols you won't be disappointed. I think the first half of the book which focuses on what he observed is much better than the second more "historical" half. It could use photos and a better spine to hold the book together.<br><br><img src="http://155auto.lifeforhealth.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom" border="0" /><br/><div style="background-color: #CCCCCC; height: 13px; width: 60px; float: left;"><div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.lifeforhealth.com/images/starbg.gif); width:24px; height:13px; float: left;"><div style="height: 13px; width: 60px; float: left; background-image: url(http://155auto.lifeforhealth.com/images/star.png);" > </div></div></div> <span class=rating>"Steer clear: an amateur work"</span> <span class=reviewdate>2002-08-22</span><br>By <b>Quickhappy</b> (Big city, big country)<br>As a scholar of what might be called outsiders, I was eager to read this work on tatooing.

Tattoo's in the 50's & 60's apparently were taboo except for the underbelly of life. Looking at how they are accepted today as opposed to then is astounding. The syndicate was even involved in the 50's. The book actually had me laughing out loud at some of the situations this highly educated man faced when he gave up teaching English at a major university and took up tattooing.

Van Werken</b> (Scotia, NY)<br>This book is a transition book. We have Rossamund, who was bound and determined from the first book to fulfill his duty to society and his fellows to become a responsible Lamplighter. In book 1, while he had troubles getting to the Lamplighter Headquarters for training, he finally reaches it. While Rossumund had adventures getting there and a job offer any one of us would consider better than being a Lamplight, he stuck to his original plan.<br /><br /><br /><br />In this book, Book 2, Rossamund does indeed begin training and graduates from the academy to become what he started out to do. However, we can guess that his life isn't going to continue on as a Lamplighter. Otherwise, there'd be no reason to keep reading, right? I mean if it's a story of "travel to the academy, train, work..." we'd not have read any further. The problem is that Rossamund isn't going to stop pursuing his goal willingly.<br /><br /><br /><br />Therefore, this book is the transition. Rossamund does achieve his base goal, but things go awry. Without spoiling the ending, we find this is the book where the major transition occurs and Rossamund is finally willing to give up his original goal and move on to what we, the readers, consider the more interesting part of the story.

A MUST READ!"</span> <span class=reviewdate>2009-08-19</span><br>By <b>Fantasy Phantom</b> (Near Atlanta, Georgia)<br>I suppose that the Harry Potter books have taken up so much of the reading time of pre-teen and teenagers (plus tons of others!), that this series has nearly been overlooked, but it most assuredly should NOT be. I bought "Foundling", the first book in the series, on sale for almost nothing when it just happened to catch my sight and looked 'interesting', but it proved to be a lot more then that. Once I was into reading that I just knew that I HAD to locate the follow-up books. And I did. I found "Lamplighter" for retail price and said, "No way!" to the price. So I came to Amazon and got a wonderful price on it. This series has very good guys, very, VERY slimy, sleazy bad guys, horrid Monsters, and sadly, good, kind and protective Monsters who are seriously misunderstood. I'm not going into the actual storyline here because I want YOU to buy the books and READ THEM for yourself. The third book in the series is due our mostly likely within the year, and I'm finding it hard to wait, but just found out that the second draft is at the publishers now, August 2009. If you enjoy reading about people with increasing courage under dire circumstances, very believable nasty creeps, people coming to see the Truth behind the socially accepted lies about something quite serious, and you just plain liked the Potter books, the "Monster Blood Tattoos" is the next series for you. But one warning..... if you're anything like me..... you'll be up later then you at night, because THIS series is an absolute page turner. And you won't want to stop!

Once I was into reading that I just knew that I HAD to locate the follow-up books. And I did. I found "Lamplighter" for retail price and said, "No way!" to the price. So I came to Amazon and got a wonderful price on it. This series has very good guys, very, VERY slimy, sleazy bad guys, horrid Monsters, and sadly, good, kind and protective Monsters who are seriously misunderstood. I'm not going into the actual storyline here because I want YOU to buy the books and READ THEM for yourself. The third book in the series is due our mostly likely within the year, and I'm finding it hard to wait, but just found out that the second draft is at the publishers now, August 2009. If you enjoy reading about people with increasing courage under dire circumstances, very believable nasty creeps, people coming to see the Truth behind the socially accepted lies about something quite serious, and you just plain liked the Potter books, the "Monster Blood Tattoos" is the next series for you. But one warning..... if you're anything like me..... you'll be up later then you at night, because THIS series is an absolute page turner. And you won't want to stop!

The intent of the book, in fact, is to enable the user to end reliance on "OPF" (other people's fonts) and learn to draw your own custom logos, fonts and lettering! There are many books on the market that simply display collections of logos and fonts, and that give the history of logos and fonts. But Logo, Font & Lettering Bible is unique in that it teaches you how to create logos and fonts from scratch using traditional tools as well as the computer programs Adobe Illustrator and Fontographer (plus a bit about FontLab). The book provides all the traditional rules and tips about letter formation relating to proportion, shaping, balance, spacing, composition and actually teaches five different methods of drawing letters on computer using bezier curves. There has never been a book like this one that goes into so much detail about drawing letters and takes such a fun and irreverent approach while doing so. The book is also full of inspiration and analysis of tons of great examples of vintage and current lettering from old manuscripts to graffiti. <i>Logo, Font & Lettering Bible</i> also shows you how to create fancy drop shadows and other type effects. And finally, the last section provides straight talk on the business of being a logo and font designer, from advertising your work and pricing to dealing with difficult clients (aren't they all?). <P>This book has been almost unanimously acclaimed by professional letterers, logo designers and font creators, both young and old. It is currently in use as a text in many typography programs and several Design college educators have stated it is one of the few texts that "students are actually happy about having to purchase."<br/ style="clear:both"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1581804369?tag=buymbt-shoes-20"><b> Readmore </b></a></p><span id="fullpost"><span class="fullpost"><h2>Technical Details</h2> - ISBN13: 9781581804362 <br/> - Condition: NEW <br/> - Notes: Brand New from Publisher.

Every page is crammed with useful or interesting content. Reading it feels like sitting down with an experienced designer who draws examples for you, tells anecdotes about the subject, and leaves you realizing you've learned more than you ever expected without even noticing. The author analyzes designs of the past and present, explains the principles that define whether or not they work, and teaches you how to do it yourself.<br /><br /><br /><br />I can't recommend this book highly enough, especially for students and the self-taught. Is the author's style idiosyncratic? Sure, and that's one of the things that makes this book so great. I have a shelf full of dry, flat, tasteless design books; this is a banquet for the eyes and the mind. It's a book you can read for pleasure (at least, if you're the kind of person to whom learning about design is pleasurable) instead of just trudging through it for instruction. It's not so much about HOW to do things (although there are excellent tutorial sections) as on WHY to do them, or not do them -- the latter of which is desperately needed today. And for the individual who complained that the tutorals are specific to certain software: if you can't look at an explanation of how to draw a curve in Illustrator, for example, and just use the corresponding tools in whatever graphics software you have, this field just isn't for you.<br /><br /><br /><br />I only rated this book at 5 stars because Amazon wouldn't let me tape a sixth one on to the end. If you have any interest, even casually, in lettering, in logo design, or in typography, this book is a must.<br><br><img src="http://155auto.lifeforhealth.com/images/ico_customer_reviews.gif " alt="Customer Buzz" align="absbottom" border="0" /><br/><div style="background-color: #CCCCCC; height: 13px; width: 60px; float: left;"><div style="background-image: url(http://155auto.lifeforhealth.com/images/starbg.gif); width:60px; height:13px; float: left;"><div style="height: 13px; width: 60px; float: left; background-image: url(http://155auto.lifeforhealth.com/images/star.png);" > </div></div></div> <span class=rating>"All-In-One"</span> <span class=reviewdate>2009-08-17</span><br>By <b>Klaas Van de Moortel</b> (Belgium, Europe)<br>A great book full of inspiring examples, a great history behind logos and fonts, perfect tutorials for the entire process of logo-making, ...

He touches the bases of graphic design, calligraphy, typography - even business - spending ample time on each. The book is<br /><br />profusely illustrated, often with step-by-step sequences, and moves along at a lively pace. There's history, technology, technique and lots of real-world examples by the author and others. Whoever panned it here<br /><br />must have confused it with another book, 'cause they don't hardy come better than this!<br><br> <br/><b>Images Product</b><br/><a target ='_blank' href='http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51T6Ph1IdAL.jpg'><img src='http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51T6Ph1IdAL.jpg' width='240px' border='0' /></a><br/><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1581804369?tag=buymbt-shoes-20"><font size="2"><b>Buy Logo, Font & Lettering Bible Now </b></font></a></p>eee pc 1000http://www.blogger.com/profile/06810353325337885280noreply@blogger.com0
