After a careful read, here is what I found. I was immediately struck by the accessibility and depth of the book. You can read it either as a tool and resource for technique, a history book, or a deep cross-section of stylistic choices for the use of this oft-overlooked medium. Equal parts instruction and inspiration the book foiled my attempts to skim and I found myself drinking in every word and image."-- Marc Scheff , Illustration Age, "I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of The Art of Ballpoint by artist and illustrator Matt Rota.
