The afterlife—a place that fills our hearts and minds with wonder as well as dread. What is in store for us there? Will there be suffering or redemption for our souls, or both? Who or what holds the power in the afterlife? And is there no escape?

Heaven’s Hell: The Art of Anthony Jones unveils one artist’s exploration of this shadowy realm and the beautiful and haunting beings battling over it. Meet the sultry and fearless sisters of Haliled, the scheming Crimson and Sapphire Sages, and the mighty brothers of Jisais—all of whom don the most sensual, imaginative attire—drawn and painted in striking detail that will captivate curious minds. Jones’s artwork is undeniably provocative and unsettling simultaneously—this effect is ultimately his intention—for the afterlife holds as much mystery as it does terror: it is both heaven and hell.

Anthony Jones has worked as an artist in the entertainment industry since 2008. He has worked for several notable companies over his career, including Sony, Blizzard Entertainment, Paramount, Western Costumes, Applibot, Wizards of the Coast, and Hasbro. But he is most proud of his role as a teacher, helping aspiring artists finesse their skills, as well as providing them a venue where they can showcase their work, through his company, Robotpencil.

The Mind's Eye: The Art of Omni

Omni was a jewel among popular science magazines of its era (1978–1998). Science Digest, Science News, Scientific America, and Discover may have all been selling well to armchair scientists, but Omni masterfully blended cutting edge science news and science fiction, flashy graphic design, a touch of sex, and the images of a generation of artists completely free and unburdened by the disciplines of the masters. Created by the legendary Bob Guccione, better known for founding Penthouse than perhaps any of the other facets of his inspired career in business, art, and literature, Guccione handpicked the artists and illustrators that contributed to the Omni legacy—they in turn created works ignited by passion and intellect, two of Guccione's principal ideals.

The Mind's Eye: The Art of Omni is the very first publication to celebrate in stunning detail the exceptional science fiction imagery of this era in an oversized format. The Mind's Eye contains 185 images from contributing Omni artists including John Berkey, Chris Moore, H.R. Giger, Rafal Olbinski, Rallé, Tsuneo Sanda, Hajime Sorayama, Robert McCall, and Colin Hay among many more, along with quotes from artists, contributors, writers, and critics.

Omni lived in a time well before the digital revolution. The images you see on these pages have taken years to track down and brought the editors in touch with many esteemed artists, amazing photographers and dusty storage lockers. Their quest is far from over; you'll notice an almost decade-long gap in the material, the contents of which were either lost or destroyed. Efforts to search throughout the universe for any images will continue and will be shared with the world at the all-things-Omni website. Stay tuned...

OMNI è stata una rivista di fantascienza e scienza pubblicata negli Stati Uniti e in Gran Bretagna dal 1978 al 1995.

Winsor Mccay, the Complete Little Nemo 1905-1927



Curatore del volume: Alexander Braun
Artista: Winsor Mccay
Casa editrice: Taschen
Anno di pubblicazione: 2014
Lingua: inglese
Specifiche: 34,4 x 44 cm, 2 volumi cartonati, 708 pagine
Prezzo: € 150,00
ISBN-10: 383654511X
ISBN-13: 978-3836545112

Ecco a voi Little Nemo, il minuscolo eroe di un mondo a fumetti, ma uno dei più grandi viaggiatori del sogno del XX secolo, e un capolavoro di immaginazione narrativa. Creato da Winsor McCay (1869–1934), grazie a una striscia settimanale a tutta pagina l’instancabile dormiglione Nemo viaggiava dal suo letto al Paese del dormiveglia, un regno fantastico fatto di compagni colorati, ambientazioni psichedeliche e avventure più o meno spaventose, il tutto bruscamente interrotto nel momento in cui Nemo puntualmente si svegliava nella vignetta finale.
Winsor McCay può essere considerato una figura fondante nell’industria moderna dell’entertainment americano. Pioniere nel campo del teatro e dell’animazione cinematografica, ha affascinato il pubblico di vaudeville con spettacoli a cavallo tra realtà e illusione, stabilendo – in anticipo di una quindicina d’anni su Walt Disney – standard per l’animazione che sarebbero rimasti un punto di riferimento per intere generazioni a venire. Tuttavia, è soprattutto con le sue amate creazioni a fumetti che McCay ha lasciato il segno. Grazie all’esplorazione del layout delle tavole e delle tecniche narrative portata avanti con Little Nemo, all’uso di un ritmo coinvolgente, e al suo interesse per l’architettura e i dettagli, McCay ha avuto un’influenza inestimabile sugli artisti seguenti, tra cui Robert Crumb e Federico Fellini.

Con l’opulento volume a colori Winsor McCay: The Complete Little Nemo 1905–1927, per la primissima volta TASCHEN raccoglie tutti i 549 episodi di Little Nemo in Slumberland. Nel ricchissimo testo di accompagnamento, illustrato con fotografie e documenti storici, lo storico dell’arte ed esperto di fumetti Alexander Braun contestualizza la vita e l’opera di Winsor McCay nella storia culturale dei media e dell’industria dell’entertainment americani. Questa pubblicazione è insomma lo straordinario monumento a uno dei più innovativi pionieri – e uno dei più intrepidi esploratori – del mondo del fumetto.

Dinomania: The Lost Art of Winsor McCay, The Secret Origins of King Kong, and the Urge to Destroy New York



Curatore: Ulrich Merkl
Artista: Winsor Mccay
Casa editrice: Fantagraphics
Previsto per novembre 2015
Lingua: inglese
Specifiche: 11,75 x 16 pollici, cartonato, 304 pagine
Prezzo: $ 95,00
ISBN-10: 1606998404
ISBN-13: 978-1606998403

Winsor McCay, the creator of Little Nemo in Slumberland, is internationally renowned as a pioneer in comics and animation. But author Ulrich Merkl’s dedicated sleuthing has unearthed a never-published strip by McCay that was lost following the artist’s untimely death. Titled simply Dino, it opens a surprising new window into McCay’s life and work and showcases his exquisitely beautiful and delicate delineations (exactingly reproduced from the original art). Merkl explores the influences McCay brought to the strip— including McCay’s own Gertie the Dinosaur animated shorts, the animation in 1933’s King Kong, and the growth of New York City from the Holland Tunnel to the Empire State Building—and traces our love of dinosaurs and monster movies down through the decades.

Breathtakingly designed, each page of this deluxe oversize volume is overflowing with amazing imagery, with more than 650 photographs and illustrations (more than 250 in color)—most of them seen here for the first time in a century! An essential volume for everyone interested in the development of the comic strip—and our never-ending fascination with dinosaurs!

Winsor McCay, pioniere del fumetto e dell'animazione, oltre al noto "Little Nemo in Slumberland" creò il personaggio di un dinosauro che se ne va a spasso per New York nelle strisce settimanali, per decenni dimenticate, di "Dino".

Il volume Dinomania riscopre quest'opera dimenticata e analizza l'influenza che ha avuto sullo storico corto d'animazione "Gertie il dinosauro" e il film "King Kong".
