Last week I got a chance to look through a pre-release copy of the new Ralph Bakshi retrospective art book, Unfiltered.
It was so gorgeous I wanted to run off with it, but I'm sure Steve Worth would not have appreciated that. Anyway, I just found out it's now available, so I ordered one for my very own.
The book is packed with pre-production art from all of the classic Bakshi features, including my favorites, Heavy Traffic, Coonskin and Wizards. It even has some storyboard drawings
from Fire and Ice that look a million times better than the final product. There's also LOTS of personal art from Ralph, and dozens of personal photos that really give you a feel for the man behind the movies.
Here's a video preview of Unfiltered - The Complete Ralph Bakshi I found on YouTube:
With any luck, this book will create some demand so we can finally get Coonskin and Hey Good Lookin' on DVD!
