eBoy...
"Famous for their illustration, web design, fonts and games, eBoy have an international cult following. Their site www.eboy.com is one of the coolest on the web. The eBoy world is unique, populated by robots, cars, guns and girls, all built up out of thousands of pixels. This is the first book devoted to their work and with 500 pages it is the eBoy Bible containing their complete image database. As well as the pixel-based work, the book features vector images by Peter Stemmler and “backstage” photographs of eBoy. The images include eBoy’s trademark eCities. Inspired by a love of buildings and architecture and the challenge of endlessly recombining different urban elements, these are painstakingly detailed and abound with monsters, seedy bars and porno cinemas. Another eBoy innovation is Peecol, an online project which invites users to recombine elements of images to form new ones. Inspired by popular culture – shopping, supermarkets, televisions, LEGO™, computer games – eBoy’s imagery is colourful, funny, subversive and startlingly original."
