Andy Suriano is an artist who has worked on several animated shows and movies, including Samurai Jack.  (Why else would I be mentioning him here?)  He keeps a moderately active blog:

Two things about Andy are worth pointing out.  One is that some of the episodes he worked on are what I consider to be the very best.  In ep XVIII, "Jack vs. the Ultra-Robots," the robots were designed by Andy.  See some sketches here:

In ep XXX, "Jack vs the Zombies" (or "Jack in the Graveyard"), Andy did the zombie designs.

He also worked on the amazing black-and-white sequences in ep XXXV, "Jack and the Haunted House" (and won an Annie Award for it to boot).

So, amazing artist cred established, here's the second point about Andy.  He has published a sketchbook!  It's called simply The Art of Andy.  It's from The Art of Fiction Press, in hardcover with 120 Full Color Pages.  Read more about it here:

It costs $25 (plus $5 shipping).  There's a link to buy it right on his blog.
And, yes, the book includes art from Samurai Jack!

Heck, even if there's only one page from SJ, it's going straight to my wishlist.  Mother's Day is over, but my birthday comes up in August, ha ha!
