"ANIMALS AND OBJECTS IN AND OUT OF WATER" (GMTA REVIEW)By GMTA PublishingBook Title: "Animals and Objects In and Out of Water"Author: Jay Ryan; Joe Meno; Andrew BirdPublished By: Akashic BooksAge Recommended: 15+Reviewed By: Kitty BullardRaven Rating: 5Review: Art has always been fascinating no matter what kind it is. If its cartoonish; a coveted oil painting; abstract; or anything at all. I have learned from being a mom that even extremely abstract crayon art from a five year old is still; art and just as interesting as something hung in a museum or art studio.Jay Ryans art could be described as a lot of things. It is abstract; strange; creative; sometimes completely mental; and hard to understand. In this book however; much of this art by Jay Ryan is explained perfectly and you find yourself able to understand his world. I loved this book for its visual beauty as well as the bizarre and interesting look into his mind. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that is an art lover and even those who arent huge fans. This mans pictures are brilliant.
