The bracelet we received is not what is pictured.

The picture doesn't do this artwork justice. It is much more colorful than it appears. It is more "alive" looking than the photo. It should be hung where there is a lot of light so that the colors can be seen.

Colors are not as bright as depicted, but the illustration is beautiful

Great illustration on cover. Good quality calendar which is comparable to other pocket calendar. An elastic,which comes with certain other  pocket calendars, which protects the calendar from opening in ones purse and getting mashed,would have been nice,but Id buy it again because the the illustration is great.

A very nice piece of art work when you already have too many pictures and need something different.  Mine was true to the one pictured.  It came in a very well packaged box in perfect condition.  I would purchase it again if I needed to.

There was a time when artists bread and butter work was painting true to life pictures: portraits, battle scenes, ships, landscapes. With the advent of photography, art changed to other forms, some of which bore no recognizable appearance of anything known to anyone but the artist.

With the advent of digital photography and the necessary software to manipulate images, digital artists began to move in the way of the painters. Their digital images are formed by the manipulation of multiple images, of changes that can be made down to the bit level if desired.

This book explores digital art. While as of yet this is not well received by the conventional art community, it is a sign of coming times. Specifically in this book the same three specific images have been given to seventeen artists to use to illustrate what they might create. The procedures they followed to create new images coming from these three seed images are documented. The results are wildly different between the resulting pictures.

This is the forefront of digital art.

This 8 5/8 inch square 144-page perfect bound softcover book displays full-page images of each of the 124 marbled paper designs.  The book begins with a 2-page history of marbled papers and image rights information, in nine languages (18 pages), followed by 121 marbled paper designs nicely printed in color on heavy paper.  The other three designs appear as the title page and the page immediately following.  A CD with the images is affixed inside the back cover in a plastic envelope.

The designs include examples of comb, "French curl," and stone marbling styles, some variations of those, and a few with decorative elements.  All are interesting, intricate, and colorful.  Each image in the book is numbered (the page number), the number being the file name on the CD.  Although the printed images are square, the CD images are of varying rectangular proportions.  Images on the CD are JPG in both high and low resolution.  The high resolution images are saved in the CMYK color space with 300 ppi resolution.  The long dimension of most of the high resolution images is 1772 pixels, but some are slightly smaller.  The low resolution images are saved in the RGB color space with 72 ppi resolution.  The long dimension of these images is roughly one-third of the high resolution images, but the size reduction is not consistent.  The irregularity of the designs precludes creating repeatable patterns without borders.

The Pepin Press image rights declaration includes the following, "For non-professional applications, single images can be used free of charge.  The images cannot be used for any type of commercial or otherwise professional application - including all types of printed or digital publications - without prior permission...."  Also noted is that "...larger and/or vectorized files are available for most images and can be ordered...."  For a commercial graphic artist requiring large, high fidelity images, Pepin Press volumes are essentially catalogs.

I have only seen pictures of this painting online, so my opinion of this poster is based on that. I ordered this poster without a frame (which I purchased locally) for ease of shipment. At the time, the vendor "PosterRevolution" had the lowest price of posters in this size.
  The images on the search page for this poster (in the 36" x 24" size) are in several shades and tones. The print that I bought is by "Generic ". Overall the actual poster is true to the picture in the vendor's advetisement. It may be possible that other printers' products are true to the images in their advetisements.
  The paper on which this is printed is of high quality. I mounted this in my frame as soon as it arrived. I have no way of testing the inks used to make it. That said, the inks appear to be of good quality.
  My only complaint is that the picture as a whole is somewhat darker and muddier than I expected, with a slight loss of detail. It is also cropped a little closer than other prints of this size. Overall I am pleased with this print, but If I order another poster, I might try one in a lighter shade. The image on Wikipedia is brighter and more vibrant.

Good service on this delivery.  Wanted a specific cover photo on this book, as I have read it before and felt the mountain background photo truly fits the book.  Did not get that advertised art on the book I purchased.

Pretty graphic from what I thought.  My husband likes it because the drawings allow him to use shading medium

You don't see very many illustrated novels. I guess the effort of combining a writer with an artist is too much. But this is one. The leading male character is a cartoonist by profession, and the book is illustrated with cartoons as though this is the way he can best express himself. While I found that the 'word pictures' that Ms. Picoult can draw to be very good, the images she has had drawn for the book convey a slightly different impression than I had in my own mind. Her images were not what I'd call bad, just different. I found that I enjoyed the differences that the visual impression gave from the word impressions.

The book is a story of a fourteen year old girl coming of age in a 'normal dysfunctional' family. The girl learns that her parents no longer have all the answers. The parents learn that their own behavior affects not only each other but the child as well.

As with any good novel, this is a story of our time with well developed characters with whom we can unfortunately identify.

This book has the best illustrations that I have EVER seen.  They draw you to the text and are partnered with the book perfectly.  They have the quality of a photograph.
