M.C. Escher Visions of Symmetry and The Magic of M.C. Escher...





"Visions of Symmetry includes many of Escher’s masterworks, as well as hundreds of lesser-known examples of his work. This new edition also features an illustrated epilogue by the author that reveals new information about Escher’s inspiration and shows how his ideas on symmetry have influenced mathematicians, computer scientists and contemporary artists."

Chris Ware...



"Chris Ware is widely acknowledged – both within and beyond the comics scene – as an artist of genius. His work is a unique combination of comic book art, hand-lettering and graphic design. In the early 1990s, he attended the School of the Art Institute in Chicago and began writing a full-page, full-colour strip for the Chicago tabloid NewCity which featured a character named Jimmy Corrigan. Ware periodically collects these comic strips into separate volumes which he publishes as the Acme Novelty Library (the series launched in 1993 and is currently up to Issue 15). Six years of the strips were collected into his best-selling 380-page graphic novel Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth (Pantheon, 2001). Spanning four generations of Chicago Irish, from the Civil War to the present, Jimmy Corrigan has been described as 'the Great American novel in comic book form'. As well as winning many awards in the comics industry, it made history as the first graphic novel to be awarded the Guardian First Book Award. It was described by the New York Times as 'arguably the greatest achievement of the form, ever'. Ware's work has recently won recognition from the art world: his original comic strip drawings were given two walls and a table at the 2002 Whitney Biennial. His artwork has been exhibited throughout the US and has appeared on the cover of The New Yorker."

Pictures and Words - New Comic Art and Narrative Illustration...



"Pictures and Words collects together the most outstanding contemporary examples of pictorial storytelling. Celebrating illustration that stands on its own to tell a story rather than simply accompanying or adorning another medium, the book includes extracts from graphic novels, comic strips and books, as well as single-panel cartoons and drawings. Words are present in the form of character dialogue or narration, or sometimes a story emerges from a series of illustrated panels that contain no text at all. With or without words, this is a highly expressive medium, dealing with a vast range of subjects from political issues to the most complex of human emotions. Comics and graphic novels are currently enjoying huge popularity in mainstream culture. This timely book brings together work by 30 key artists from around the world, including Paul Davis, Benoît Jacques and Andrzej Klimowski ."

Still Bored...



"Surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding have produced some of the most influential graphics to have emerged in the last 30 years. This book is a comprehensive survey of the best of board sports graphics, from rare, classic archive material to the latest trends. Top artists and art directors, such as Jim Phillips, Erik Brunetti, Todd Francis, Marc McKee and Scott Clum, explain the complex subcultures which have given rise to a stunning array of imagery, and examine the close links between board sports and music, design and fashion. This revised edition brings the story up to date with the best new examples of recent board graphics. Anarchic, funny, brutal and beautiful, this book is a unique document of the visual expression of youth culture."

Skateboard Stickers...





"This is the first book to celebrate the use of stickers in skateboarding. Showing the full spectrum of skate sticker art, it brings together over 350 of the most memorable stickers ever produced. Stickers became extremely important in the late 1980s and early 90s when many smaller, skater-owned companies emerged – they are an easy way to get brands noticed and virtually every board graphic is also available in sticker form. Nearly every skater has a sticker collection of some sort, either on a bedroom door, on the fridge or in a shoe box. From Wes Humpston and Dogtown’s stickers in the 1970s to Birdo at Consolidated’s ‘Don’t Do It’ campaign, Adhesive features the very best designs, selected by pro skateboarders past and present. It includes sticker-related stories and articles from skaters and artists, such as the story of Death skateboards or Jim Phillips’ legendary Screaming Hand sticker logo for Speed Wheels Santa Cruz, and features quotes from skateboarders describing what stickers mean to them. Contributors include Wes Humpston, Bucky Lasek, Sean Goff, Steve Alba, Andy Howell, Mark McKee, Jim Phillips and Mike Vallely. A specially-created sticker is supplied with the book."

Pixel World...



"For today’s screen-based graphic designers, working with pixels is nothing new – these tiny dots are the building blocks of bitmap graphics, one of the two fundamental types of graphic file. Digital images are made up of thousands of individual pixels which the eye blends together to give a smooth, coherent picture. In recent years, however, designers have begun to experiment with pixels, using them to create a graphic style that looks deliberately blocky and pixellated. Some designers strive to use as few pixels as possible to create recognizable characters and scenes; others, notably the German-based pioneers of pixel art, eBoy, use millions of pixels to build up highly detailed representations of environments. Pixel World collects together the best pixel graphics of thirty designers and illustrators from around the world. It covers a wide variety of styles and subject matter, from pixel environments to pixel fonts, and from girls to outer space."
CDRom included!

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."
