The stuff of nightmares, monsters have haunted the human psyche for millennia, cropping up in all cultures through our stories and myths, in three-dimensional and graphic representations. This hold has not diminished as newer technologies keep evolving to visually render them faster and with increased nuance for a variety of applications from games and animation to film characters. Monsters of the Imagination looks at this legacy through the diverse work of 30 world-renowned creature designers who share their inspiration, choice of materials and techniques with the readers. The chapters include Digital Painting, Traditional Hand Drawing, 3D Modeling and Rendering, and Sculpture. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

(A) Alex Pardee Enter the incredible world of Alex Pardee, inhabited by a disturbing menagerie of misfit monsters and improbable heroes plucked from the very nightmares of childhood. This collection brings us a broader picture of the extent of his twisted genius and the dark themes that run through his work. Yet, amongst the entrails and decapitations, the gaping maws of razor-sharp teeth, improbable appendages and suppurating fleshy masses, we discover a vein of goodness, of humanity. Wide eyes stare childlike as terrifying creatures lovingly clasp and support each other, providing comfort in their search for community. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

by Daniel & Geo Fuchs Not just another book about toys, ToyGiants is a simply stunning photographic exploration of toy figures, vintage and modern. ToyGiants shows in exquisite detail the elements of design that imbue toys and figures with life and contribute to their timeless appeal. Not frozen in time as tiny plastic effigies, rather, the artists have managed, through brilliant use of angles and lighting to breathe life into their subjects creating nuanced portraits and vibrant tableaux vivant.

This is the single best collection of photographs of Banksy's street work. Period. You Are An Acceptable Level of Threat concentrates on this singular artist's iconic imagery, spanning the late '90s up until the end of 2011. When Banksy started out painting, the political landscape was bleak. Fortunately now, it's ten times worse.
