Paperback. Condition: Good. What do artist models think about while posing nude on the stand? Do they watch you as much as you watch them? Are they musing about their misadventures or what they want to do when they put their clothes back on and go home? Is it possible that they are living, breathing bodies who may be reminiscing about their trips to Europe, Morocco or New York City? Are they perhaps cold, itchy or trying not to sneeze? Was it different for artist models in the 1970's in Los Angeles or San Francisco? What were the union rules for those in the San Francisco Model's Guild? What about the world of theatre? Is it very different from the world of artist modeling? The answers to all these pressing questions are in this memoir, Life on the Stand.…

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Can a Canali-clad million-dollar banker learn anything from a paint-stained artist? Definitely. Especially now. Clearly, succeeding in business is an art form. We've informally labelled activities and pursuits as "the art of management," "the art of marketing" or even "the art of doing more with less," but we've rarely made the direct connection between the two worlds. With a rapidly changing digital economy, new and emerging technologies, increased clutter and a drastically altered media landscape, successful companies are those that are original, creative and innovative. Defining business as art is now a credible school of thought, and the lessons are far more practical than philosophical. Everyone's an Artist shows how and why the most successful executives and entrepreneurs think like artists.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Description: Trygve Johnson invites us to consider a new metaphor of identity of The Preacher as Liturgical Artist. This identity draws on a theology of communion and the doctrine of the vicarious humanity of Christ to relocate the preacher's identity in the creative and ongoing ministry of Jesus Christ. Johnson argues the metaphorical association of the preacher and artist understood within the artistic ministry of Jesus Christ frees the full range of human capacities, including the imagination to bear upon the arts of Christian proclamation. The Preacher as Liturgical Artist connects preachers to the person and work of Jesus Christ, whose own double ministry took the raw materials of the human condition and offered them back to the Father in a redemptive and imaginative fashion through the Holy Spirit. It is in the large creative ministry of Jesus Christ that preachers find their creativity freed to proclaim the gospel bodily within the context of the liturgical work of God's people.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Travel back to the Gilded Age of American history, when all that glittered was not gold. Follow young sculptor, Mary Lawrence on her journey toward truth, as she scratches the surface of the glitzy Beaux Arts community and finds that what lies beneath can be dull and hard. It's 1892, and Mary is on the verge of an artistic breakthrough, both for herself and for women artists everywhere: the Chicago World's Fair committee is considering the recommendation to commission her to sculpt the figure of Christopher Columbus, for exhibition in the fair's Court of Honor. No other woman is allowed to show art outside the Woman's Building, let alone be featured in a prominent location. But the recommendation came from renowned sculptor, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who is Mary's friend and mentor. And this is influence enough for the committee to agree-though the decision is not unanimous. This dissent is not the only taste of the derision Mary is to face throughout her artistic pursuits. For fifteen years, Mary has followed her passion for sculpting. She studies at the Art Students League in New York where she eventually teaches, as well as the Academie Julian in Paris. Unlike most young women, she has both the financial and emotional support of her parents, who serve as a consistent source of encouragement throughout her journey. She experiences the pangs and jealousies of professional rejection, as well as the joys of the American Beaux Arts' bohemian community. Her sister's marriage to a conventional businessman brings out Mary's doubts about her own life choices, but the World's Fair commission arrives just in time with the validation she needs. And her Christopher Columbus garners high praise from critics, which provides her with many opportunities previously unheard of for women. But it isn't enough to keep her self-doubt buried. So when Mary finds herself the object of affection of two men, she must make the choice to continue on her artistic path, or a build a comfortable, traditional future.…

He's just arrived in San Diego for Comic-Con -- the annual nerd Mardi Gras that triples the beachside city's population with 150,000 fans. Michael hopes to spend the next five days working his booth in Artist's Alley, where he'll sign autographs and sell sketches for $40 a pop. Instead he's implicated in the death of his editor, the widely feared and reviled Danny Lieber. There are plenty of suspects onhand -- from rival illustrators to burlesque cos-players. But the most valuable clues might be hidden in Michael's own sketchbook.

The devil is in the details, and readers who pay careful attention to this book's black-and-white sketches will be on the right trail to unmask the murderer. Fowler, Tom (illustrator).…
