Innovative Art Work and a Book the Makes you Smile
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book will have you in your seat until the very last page. Ray Troll's art work is captivating and at times makes you laugh at loud. Not only should everyone take an opportunity to enjoy his artwork but go ahead and fly up to Ketchikan, Alaska and meet the man himself at his gallery, SoHo Coho. I promise he is just as colorful and vibrant in person!
It will teach you and tickle your gills!

Few can capture the mystery and peculiarity of science like Ray Troll. Whether he's painting the his favorite piscine pal -- the ratfish -- or he's sketching a paleontological history of a distant Montanan basin, Troll has a knack for mixing the perfect amount of fact with the perfect amount of fancy for an unforgettable experience. He's got a great sense of humor, too, as evidenced by some of his zanier and darker works. "Rapture of the Deep" is a great introduction to Troll's work, and gives readers a perfect notion of what it is that makes this artist so unique. It is a must for any fish- or science-lover who is passionate but doesn't take him/herself too seriously. Enjoy!
