Taschen have a sale this weekend. Seems there's a lot of things available with very good discount.

2nd run of Liber Ketola is available again for EU customers through Norma Evangelium Diaboli, for those who missed it. It's massive and definitely worth the price for those familiar with the much regretted Timo Ketola.

I have in distro too. Very good! 200 pages of artwork, plus quite detailed story of man. Quality of scans and printing is real deal art book style and well worth money!

Recently reading through Jenny Saville: The Anatomy of Painting and really enjoying it, some of my favorite contemporary figure painting. She really excels at corporeal, almost painful depictions of flesh. Quite a bit of influence from Lucian Freud, but also medical photographs and surgeries (in fact I think she used to sit in and observe plastic surgery procedures while preparing paintings).

Her drawings are some of my favorite. I looked up to her work in college, but surprisingly don't own any of her books. I'll have to check this one out.
