{"product_id":"carbon-2-9781933865911","title":"Carbon 2","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first thing you can count on in any collection from Mark Schultz is a kind of subject matter  featuring outr situations involving daring men and women  and  often  fearsome beasts. The second thing you can count on is his allegiance to certain graphic mediumgenerally brush and ink  and graphite and charcoal  but sometimes watercolor too. The third thing you can count on is that  although the subject matter and media stay consistent  his design  draftsmanship and control of his presentation are always evolving and growing  Here  in Carbon 2  his work has become noticeably boldermore viscerally engaging.  Carbon 2 follows its predecessor by three years  and in those years Marks work has become something more solid  and at times almost sculptural  as he continues to refine his attempts to put to paper the visions he sees in his head. Featuring conceptual studies as well as finishes  Carbon 2 gives us a look into that process.  Of course there are plenty of lovely warrior women  including more in the Pulpette series  as well as portraits of his Xenozoic characters  Hannah Dundee and Jack Tenrec  negotiating dire straits. There is also sword and sorcery  ancient mythic tableaus  and otherworldly science fiction to satisfy the most diverse tastes. And there are preliminaries and rejected pieces from Storms at Sea  and  (spoiler alert) design work and character studies from Marks new in-progress Xenozoic graphic novel. Qua hoon!  The large-format Carbon 2 will feature over 50 of Marks newest works across its pages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67922578145333,"sku":"ByrdShop_1933865911","price":247.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781933865911.jpg?v=1794081681","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/carbon-2-9781933865911","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
