Culled from his drawing blog -- \u003cem\u003eThe Daily Forlorn\u003c\/em\u003e, now one of Tumblr's featured illustration blogs, adding thousands of new followers every week -- these portraits are as stylistically varied as the subjects they portray. A scrawled, single line drawing of Lenny Bruce shares space with a triangular Werner Heisenberg. A monochromatic, stippled Stanley Kubrick stares intently at a muppetheaded Frank Oz. Each turn of the page offers a new take on a familiar face. In the afterword, Hornschemeier includes brief notes on each portrait and that creator's particular work or insight that spoke specifically to him. And in that specificity, much of what is universally affecting in each creator shines through. Hornschemeier's graphic novels hop from one aesthetic to the next, varying the line and color quality to depict his narrative's mood. He plays with the language of comics. In these portraits we can clearly see him hard at experimentation, adding to his vocabulary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Hornschemeier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1606996983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606996980\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.73h x 5.91w x 0.67d","brand":"Paul Hornschemeier","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44598571794687,"sku":"9781606996980","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_754d6d86-c632-4b96-8298-da30f3dfc451.jpg?v=1702383254","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/artists-authors-thinkers-directors-paul-hornschemeier-9781606996980","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
