Claire Wendling. DESK. [SN21787] $30
Torrance: Stuart Ng Books, 2006. 1st. Sq 8vo, 64pp, monochrome, wraps. VF. A pure sketchbook: 64 pages of pencil drawings of imaginary monsters and real animals. Horned beasts, lions, horses, wolves, foxes, etc.
These drawings were created between 1996 and 1998. Most were drawn in Los Angeles during her off-hours from the WB studio. They have never been published in any other book. They do not appear in Iguana Bay 2.0 or Drawers 2.0. Redrawn versions of a few drawings appear in Drawers 2.0 pages 108-111.
In addition to the same production values and high quality reproduction of the French edition are several exclusives to this English-language edition: three previously unpublished drawings, an insightful biography featuring new quotes from the artist, a new Foreword by Mike Mignola, and tributes from other artists.
 
 
Claire Wendling. DRAWERS 2.0. [SN23885X] $55
Bordeaux: le Cycliste, 2005. Revised 2nd. 4to (11-13”), 144pp, over 650 color illustrations, pictorial boards. VF w/o DJ as issued. This is a revised and expanded edition of Drawers originally published in January 2001. With over 400 new images, this is an essential volume whether or not you have the original edition. This is the only career overview of this phenomenal artist covering her work in comic books, animation, film, and commercial illustration. Also well represented are her personal drawings not meant for publication. Most of the personal drawings that appeared in the original edition have been replaced with new versions by Claire (a la Iguana Bay 2.0). Very little, if any, overlap with Desk or Iguana Bay.
 
Claire Wendling. IGUANA BAY 2.0. [SN20749] $28
Bordeaux: le Cycliste, 2003. Sm 4to, 96pp, color & b&w, pictorial boards. VF w/o DJ as issued. This is a completely revised edition of a sketchbook first published in 1996. It reproduces all of the original sketchbook drawings plus a new version of each drawing. On opposing pages, we see the original sketchbook drawings and Wendling's new, finished version of each drawing. It's like looking at the rough animation and the clean-up drawing each done by the same artist. Incredible. Only two pages of text.
