Geek-Art 2: An Anthology - Art, Design, Illustration & Lightsabers
The first volume of this anthology was published in France and later in the U.S., but this second volume is only available in the original French edition (there is no U.S. edition). Every age has its artistic inspiration. Medieval artists exalted spiritual subjects. Modernists shifted their attention to humanity and the senses.
For a generation of artists and fans today, our heroic subjects are Mario, Pikachu, Spider-Man, Darth Vader, Frodo, and a legion of other iconic figures from the geek culture realms of movies cartoons video games and comics. Showcasing 88 new international illustrators, graphic designers, and artists, this second novel anthology gathers the best of the modern and popular expression that is geek art.
Portfolios for 88 artists including Bannister, El Gunto, Ann Marcellino, PJ McQuade, Jean-Baptiste Roux, Jeff Victor, and others.
Includes artist's websites and contact info.
Thomas Olivri grew up loving geek art and culture and never outgrew them. He is the creator of Geek-Art.net, a popular online pop culture community that features art created from these worlds, and hosts gallery shows of the work in Paris, where he lives.
