Melange (English and French Edition) Hardcover – March 1, 2011

Mandy, in all her innocent beauty, stands out from all of Yeagle's creations in this collection of his work, but not by much. What a master; with an eye for beauty and whimsy and an unmatched ability to capture it.

It's a great book with many great works in it and I enjoy it.The extra red marker was an unfortunate bad surprise when I looked at the cover.I don't know how this could have happened.When I received the book I noticed an off color to parts of the red text and design on the front of the book and then realised it was actually red permanent felt that had been drawn on to the front. I'm a bit upset over this and I'm completely baffled by how this could have happened and still been shipped to me. This ruins any collection value and is very difficult to remove. However, it is still a great book and I'm happy with what's inside of it.EDIT: I managed to get the marker off with a little bit of ingenuity.

GREAT COLLECTION OF FINISHED WORK ALONG WITH SKETCHES, IF YOU ARE A FAN OF DAN YEAGLE, GÒOD GIRL ART OR AN ASPIRING ARTIST, THIS BOOK BELONGS IN YOUR COLLECTION!

The media could not be loaded.  It appears that there was an earlier edition of Melange before this. There's a "+32 pages" sticker pasted on the cover for this edition published by Akileos. The book's a 160-page hardcover.Dean Yeagle is a cartoonist and character designer with background in animation. This book collects his diverse character designs, nude female figure drawings, pin-ups and his Playboy cartoons with some unused roughs.The art and characters are beautiful. About half the book is on the character Mandy, a playful busty blonde - she's on the cover with her dog. Even the Playboy cartoons are amusing, and I can't say the same for other artists.It's a great book for those into character designs and pin-up art.(There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

Fan of Dean Yeagle art.

There are a number of Dean Yeagle's publications out there -- five "Scribblings", a Sketchbook, three Mandy books, some others -- but all are fairly slim volumes and fairly pricey for their size (even before several of them went out of print and got even more pricey!). MELANGE is a great opportunity to see what Yeagle's work is all about and a better value for your buck. There's a lot of his Mandy character, plus Playboy cartoons both published and rejected, animation, sketches, finished works, other characters, and more. Good art, good value, good book. The only downside is that you may decide you need to have all Yeagle's other stuff too ...

Having purchased the original printing of Dean Yeagle's Mélange, I was pleased to see that the new release not only had much better color reproduction - very vibrant, full-page illustrations - but it also had much better distribution with subjects sorted accordingly. Of course, our beloved Mandy gets a lion's share of the book and the additional pages, while some are familiar versions from previous 'Scribblings' editions, are never-before seen/published sketches.If you don't have this edition of Mélange, I urge you to purchase it to add to your collection. If you already own the first copy, buy this one anyway. The price isn't too bad for what you're getting. (28MAY2011)

Purely delightful and such a joy to look at these innocent and coy artistic renderings, a great book for anyone who loves 'good girl' art and illustration and art in general. I will buy more of these in the future.

I don't write reviews (because i'm lazy), but this book needs more than one review.... although its a pretty good review and persuaded me that I wanted to buy this book :) I'm an art student ( the type without the love of all things which look like nothing at all) and I shamelessly copy any artist good enough to be able to make me like his work. Dean Yeagle draws everything well. this isn't a " how to" book (hate those... well most of them).. it's just a book of extremely clever art. The nudes (mainly Mandy) are terrible sweet (in a nice way) and not offensive, even to prudish folks like myself, and lets face it you have to draw nudes to be able to draw. the front of the book has some pretty amazing characters, including animals and creatures. This is a great book. Highly recommended :)

A long time fan of Dean Yeagles cartoons and pictures.So very pleased to get a copy of this excellent book of not only cartoons but sketches and drawings.More please!

Dean Yeagle fantastic characters and the lovely Mandy, full of great funny sketches and clasics takes on Playboy cartoons strips and illustrations one of those books that you open and draws smile on your face.

Great Book

I like your pin up girls, Mandy a your Playboy cartoons. Everyone who loves his drawings, must have this book. I can only recommend. Thank you Dean Yeagle.
