Using the graphic novel format, Perspective in Action features 33 easy to follow demonstrations to teach the major discoveries in perspective. Author and artist David Chelsea takes readers through the major perspective related developments in history, teaching them how to re-create these same experiments by leading artists in all fields (including drawing, painting and sculpture). Covering a wide-range of mediums (pen and ink, paint, chalk, digital art, woodwork and more), Perspective in Action gives readers a more hands on approach to perspective, as opposed to the usual theoretical presentations found in other books.

The perfect holiday gift for fans of the epic fantasy series that inspired HBOs Game of Thrones--a gorgeous boxed set featuring conveniently sized leather-cloth-bound editions of the first five novels. An immersive entertainment experience unlike any other, A Song of Ice and Fire has earned George R. R. Martin-dubbed the American Tolkien by Time magazine-international acclaim and millions of loyal readers. Now the monumental saga gets the royal treatment it deserves, with each book wrapped in bound leather-cloth covers and packaged together in an elegant display case. This one-of-a-kind boxed set includes: A GAME OF THRONES. A CLASH OF KINGS. A STORM OF SWORDS. A FEAST FOR CROWS. A DANCE WITH DRAGONS. One of the best series in the history of fantasy. -Los Angeles Times. Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off Kings Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Roberts name. There his family dwells in peace and comfort: his proud wife, Catelyn; his sons Robb, Brandon, and Rickon; his daughters Sansa and Arya; and his bastard son, Jon Snow. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse--unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances. Now Robert is riding north to Winterfell, bringing his queen, the lovely but cold Cersei, his son, the cruel, vainglorious Prince Joffrey, and the queens brothers Jaime and Tyrion of the powerful and wealthy House Lannister--the first a swordsman without equal, the second a dwarf whose stunted stature belies a brilliant mind. All are heading for Winterfell and a fateful encounter that will change the course of kingdoms. Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Prince Viserys, heir of the fallen House Targaryen, which once ruled all of Westeros, schemes to reclaim the throne with an army of barbarian Dothraki--whose loyalty he will purchase in the only coin left to him: his beautiful yet innocent sister, Daenerys. Long live George Martin . . . a literary dervish, enthralled by complicated characters and vivid language, and bursting with the wild vision of the very best tale tellers. -The New York Times.
