“The Narrative Artist or Designer working in disparate visual mediums, whether they be film, television, live performance, visual art, print or web-based media, are all equally concerned with detail, the sub-textual message, as well as the overall effect of their endeavor’s content. To have access to a resource that both speaks in the subtle nuances of color, texture and form, while with equal effect the fuller vision – and in such variety, is really a significant accomplishment and a most useful tool to posses. With a keen eye, designer and visual anthropologist, Jim Hewitt, has succeeded in making us take a fresh look at a time and place that we all too often take for granted.

“rapid-response” reference libraries.” Thomas A. Walsh President, Art Directors Guild
