Wes Humpston has a semi-rabid and loyal following, so it\u2019s only natural that he publish a book of his art. Bulldog\u2019s Art by Wes Humpston (or \u201cOne Thousand and One Dogtown Crosses\u201d as it is apt to be called) is a no frills publication packed with various drawings and photos of Wes\u2019 skateboard art ranging from his original one-offs of the 70\u2019s to mass produced and limited edition silkscreens of today. Unlike Jim Phillips’ book, there is virtually no accompanying text or background info, or miscellaneous art other than that used for skateboards, surfboards, and bodyboards. Most pieces are presented in sketch form with the production model next too it, and no comment other than the title. Jesus Saenz\u2019 three page introduction gives a basic outline of Humpston\u2019s first skateboards and his progression to present day collector\u2019s hero, as well as some of the famous people and places his work has been ridden. The artwork covers multiple Dog Town eras and Bulldog Skates products as well as board designs for other companies not affiliated with Wes. Fans of Humpston\u2019s art will be pleased with the quantity of art represented but may be disappointed if they hope to get any real insight into Wes\u2019 career or personality. The book design has a kind of amateurish feel to it, but most of it\u2019s buyers will probably be more concerned with seeing the reproductions instead of whether or not it has \u201ccoffeee table\u201d appeal. At the very least, Bulldog\u2019s Art by Wes Humpston gets the job done as far as presenting a collection for his fans. At $19.95 it\u2019s definitely cheaper than trying to acquire a collection of his real art.<\/p>\n
