So Stinkin' Cool! - Thomas Fluharty

About the book So Stinkin' Cool!

For more than four decades, Thomas Fluharty has created a body of work that is instantly recognizable, combining extraordinary draftsmanship with a remarkable gift for storytelling and caricature. Rooted in the great tradition of American illustration and inspired equally by the Flemish masters and contemporary art, he has produced hundreds of illustrations for magazines, books, advertising, and entertainment, while building an exceptional personal oeuvre.

Spanning more than 360 pages and the full breadth of his career, this volume is the most comprehensive retrospective ever devoted to the artist. Editorial illustrations, magazine covers, caricatures, preliminary sketches, paintings, commissioned works, and personal creations come together to reveal the evolution of an artist whose expressive line, wit, and technical mastery have continually evolved while remaining unmistakably his own.

In short, So Stinkin' Cool will allow you to explore Fluharty’s numerous illustrations, from his earliest childhood creations to his most recent pieces, including the ones created using the Prismacolor 901 Indigo Blue pencil—his artistic signature.
