Wildsville - The Art of Derek Yaniger

Illustrator Derek Yaniger has a book of his illustrations called Wildsville.

Celebrating a retro subculture of tiki gods, hillbillies, and burlesque, this collection of Derek Yaniger's incredible body of 1950s-style cartoon art is a must for all tiki and Kustom Kulture addicts. The only work devoted to his illustrations for Cartoon Network, Marvel Comics (for which he worked on such titles as Hellraiser, Transformers: Generation 2, and Web of Spider-Man), and more, this book contains more than 150 original paintings and illustrations. Derek's illustration style, reminiscent of cocktail napkin art of the 1950s, delves into the retro world of beatniks, tiki bars, and Vegas glamour. Original cartoon art collectors, students of cartoon art, and fans of lowbrow artists will all find this an essential reference.

How interesting. I haven't seen anything of Yaniger's work since the Transformers: Generation 2 comic about 15 years ago, but he's still fondly remembered. I'll try to make sure that other Transformers fans are made aware of this.
