REFERENCE MATERIAL FOR THE MODERN AGE FROM A BYGONE ERA.
Artist’s Archive is unlike any other reference collection. Each curated pictorial encyclopedia is perfect for artists, designers, illustrators, crafters, and enthusiasts who want to expand their artistic repertoire. The focus of each book is not solely on the image material but rather how you can use the images to create original works with no influence from repetitive online image searches. Every image used in the collection is open to use for reference freely. Each book will guide you with helpful prompts and exercises, informative tips, color palettes, a final project that emphasizes digging deep into the material, and some added bonus images.
The art collected for this series has been an ongoing project over the past 10 plus years. I’ve spent full days and late nights collecting hundreds of works in the public domain from libraries, museum collections, and internet archives. Each of the featured images has been edited for clarity and to bring out its original beauty. Let the art inform you, open your mind, and help you see the beauty in the everyday.
