This is such a great value for some high quality prints. Combine them with some IKEA frames and instant style in these challenging economic times.
I already loved this artists work for years so I knew I would love the prints, really unique and fun.Really, really impressed with this book. I am very happy with my purchase. Each poster is on nice, thick, quality paper-so you know it's gonna last. Each poster has a sketch version on the back along with info on each deity. I'm thinking of laminating each of them, they're just so gorgeous!
I'm teaching Hindu mythology to my 2G students.To say they are in love with these pictures is an understatement. My students pour over them and copy them incessantly.My literacy / art collaboration produced shockingly good art from my 7- and 8-year-olds.Suggestion for teachers: laminate these posters! While my students treated them with near-reverence, I could see problems if used year after year (as I intend to do).
I'm a big fan of Sanjay Patel's work and I was very excited to find out he was coming out with a set of prints. Finally some full sized framable prints of his fantastic hindu deities. The colors and designs are gorgeous - my favorites are the rad punk rock pink Kali and the uber serene Buddha. It was a nice surprise to find an informative and entertaining mini history of each deity on the back of the prints, along with a cool black and white concept sketch. And then there is the inside of the case - the endpapers - what a delightful surprise. I won't spoil it for everyone, but believe me, this print set is covered with art from front to back!
Adorable! I framed three of these and they make a perfect addition for my nursery. Be waned they are an odd size. I was able to fit them into an 11 x 14 opening, but it did mean I had to cover up some small pieces of the image which is closer to 12 x 15. I think it might fit better into an Ikea Ribba frame, but didn't have time to get those before the nursery needed to be done. Regardless, I love them and have already gotten a ton of compliments!
My daughter loves the posters, the came out of the book jacket quite easily. The artwork is very vibrant and colorful and the descriptions on the back of each poster help facilitate talks about religious mythology.
These pictures are terrific. We were able to use them to decorate my daughter's room. Sanjay Patel's artistic ability is truly amazing. I have received so many compliments about my daughter's room.
I saw these in San Francisco, in the chronicle book store. Forget to purchase them, looked them up on and they were priced much cheaper. I love the prints, they are sturdy and look great in a frame. Such a low cost for beautiful designs. I think he is coming out with a children's book soon too.
