Steve Rude Artist in Motion
Steve Rude & John Fleskes. Flesk Publications, 2008. For over two decades, Steve Rude has galvanized the art world as a comic magazine artist and illustrator. This book explores Rude's versatility in several subjects and mediums. Chapters cover his comics and illustration work, private commissions, animation material, life-drawings, and an elaborate sketchbook section.

Numerous finished paintings - many published for the first time - are accompanied by preliminary work, such as sketches, colour roughs, and use of reference materials. In addition there is a “how-to” segment, which shows a painting project from start to finish.

Artist in Motion shows Rude's artistic processes in their entirety and will serve as both an art book and an inspirational guide for aspiring students. Rude explains his techniques for the layman to better understand this contemporary master's artistic processes. A biography and exclusive interviews delve into Rude's philosophy and approach to art. By studying the works of such masters as Andrew Loomis, John Gannam, Harry Anderson, Jack Kirby, and Russ Manning, Rude continues to perfect his talent. The result is an artist with the discipline and training of the grand illustrators from the 1930s to 1950s.
