Animation in Process

From Hollywood blockbuster to striving independent filmmaker, from mobile phone games to characters advertising products on television, from pseudo live action through to virtual environments, animation is able to transcend boundaries to reach new audiences.
    This book shows how artists, designers, filmmakers, programmers, directors, writers, and producers have seized the chance to entertain using a versatile and compelling medium.
    Animation in Process is not only a creative showcase exposing the best talent in the field today, but an in-depth exploration of working methods and processes that go behind the highly-polished features enjoyed today, with previously unseen material such as sketches, working drawings, storyboards, and other work in progress that documents the animators’ craft.

Drawing Now: Between the Lines of Contemporary Art

TRACEY (Dr. Russ Marshall, Dr. Jane Tormey, Phil Sawdon, Simon Downs and Andrew Selby

An exhibition in book form, this showcase of the best of drawing now features one hundred works by almost fifty artists including Susan Hauptman, Paul Noble, Jeff Gabel, Tracey Emin, Jane Harris, Julia Fish, Cornelia Parker and Jerwood Drawing Prize winner Sarah Woodfine. Carefully 'curated' with many new drawings specifically commissioned for the volume, the book also includes an Introduction by the Editors which lays out the themes underpinning this diverse and exciting selection of work. With a revival of interest in drawing in recent years, "Drawing Now" is a timely collection of the work of artists intent on giving a contemporary twist to the most traditional of forms.

Tracey is an online peer reviewed journal, hosted by Loughborough University (School of Art and Design) that publishes and disseminates material concerned with contemporary drawing.
