If New York City is a state of mind; then Jorge Colombo captures the metropolis thoughts like no other. Colombos beautiful illustrations of New York City have graced the cover of The New Yorker several times; brilliantly depicting icons such as silhouetted rooftop water towers; the illuminated Chrysler Building at night; Fifth Avenue in the snow; or the ubiquitous hot dog stand. All of the images were finger painted on location on an iPhone; to passerby walking by the artist; he simply appeared to be sending text messages or reading a very long email. This sophisticated volume presents one hundred of his best pieces in full colour; accompanied by his recollections and comentaries about each location. Every scene is unmistakably New York: familiar; grand; timeless; yet filtered by modern; cutting-edge technology. Immediately recognizable to native New Yorkers; but also perfect for anyone who admires the Big Apple; this is a monograph of an artist and of a city.

This book is a breath of fresh air. I thought the insights that it gives on in the business is priceless. This book should be one of the first things. all commercial actors or even an actor trying to learn the business should read. This kind of info you wont get in any classroom(unless your in a seminar with the author). This gives you the low down on what is really going on in the heads of the casting director and the every important process of what the client. director. ad agency and the producers thought processes are. I say preparation is the mother of opportunity. Get prepared with this book0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
