Berkeley: University Of California Press. New in New dust jacket. 2004. Second Edition. Cloth. NEW - For more than two decades, Ray Troll has been luring, hooking, and landing fans around the world with his zany, irreverent, often surreal art. Featured in museums, galleries, and books and on immensely popular T-shirts, his work - part natural history adventure and part underground comic - depicts all kinds of beautiful fish with scientific accuracy, as well as Northwest Coast totems, Freud and Darwin, fossils, resurrections of extinct animals and much more. This book collects some of Troll's best-known art along with many images never before published. The book makes powerful connections between biological diversity, the evolution of life on earth, and the careless habits of people. 136 pages including credits; commentary on each piece by the author. 10 1/4" square .
