The Rest is Up to You: A Boy Named Cohen Morano, 118 Artists, and a Watercolor Revolution - 01


This book is the collaboration of a third-grade boy Cohen Morano and 118 artists. The boy likes watercolour and his dad sends out his watercolour splashes to artists around the world for them to add to. I'm surprised the project worked.

Most of the art featured are doodle-like. Many are child-like drawings with the occasional glimpse of mastery depending on the artist. There are artists like Tim Biskup, Shepard Fairey, James Jean, Mark Ryden, Jim Woodring, etc.

It's a book you have to see to determine if you like it. Personally, I'm not sure who the audience should be.

I borrowed mine from the library. The book is 176 pages.
