Published by Last Gasp, San Francisco, 4th printing 2011. ISBN: 978-0-86719-713-6. HC 257 Pgs. in 11 1/8" x 8 1/2" format embracing full-color reproductions of paintings, sketches, in addition to a few Steampunk thingamajigs, etc. Paper quality, binding, color reproductions, and artful composite presentation are well executed in contemporary style and offer no wasted space.All in all, Hi-Fructose once was largely underground art that has and is being exploited for its commercial value. Some originated as graffiti, much surfacing through "media sphere" of radio, TV, newspapers, blogs and diverse galleries. In an informative Introduction by David Pescovitz, he notes the decline in print magazines and also the ephemeral nature of Web media creations provides but a "momentary joy...because there is nothing to touch".Hi-Fructose is largely a composite collection of those artistic impulses, strivings, objectives and motivations of some 52 artists as revealed through stark one-on-one interviews, personal explanation of their work, an occasional real or contrived confession given with appropriate artistic flair, at times contemptuous or in affected manner. The variety of interview certainly provides a good mix of artistic temperament, at times apologetic, sincere, evasive or defensive - certainly a spirited discussion is revealed.Artists, like movie stars, are numerous: some well known, some little known and the majority being new comers & wannabees - so too are the graphic representations provided in Hi-Fructose. Some overly cartoonish, ghoulish, poorly decipherable or just not my type.Hi-Fructose covers this type art spectrum thoroughly & I especially enjoyed seeing about 1/3 of the Editors' presentations. Mark Ryden's creations were well chosen whilst Ray Caesar, Craola, Scott Musgrove, Kurt Halsey and Jenny Bird all presented a coherent genre I found most pleasing. Having a round-table group discussion of one's likes or preferences would make for a wonderful session centered about this fine book.finis ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ But the case is always after I spend time really looking at the drawings and read the interview I start to like it. Hope I can g *by D***I on Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2014* I don't know. At first glance, the pictures don't attract me very much. But the case is always after I spend time really looking at the drawings and read the interview I start to like it. Hope I can get into this book as well. I bought the newest volume in bookstore, it's awesome. Definitely feel motivated and inspired. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Some great profiles! *by M***O on Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2013* If only to see Ray Caesar's work and Mark Ryden's work this book is worth it. Although I felt a lot of the artists were so-so. It wasn't as engaging as I had hoped. I looked through it and then passed it on. Later I bought some books featuring the artists I had mentioned. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/9825330-hi-fructose-vol-1](https://www.desertcart.at/products/9825330-hi-fructose-vol-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
