FLEXIBLE The Art of Yo Shimizu

The first collection of Yo Shimizu's work, featuring 160 breathtakingly beautiful and overwhelmingly fantastic landscapes and characters, body armor and creatures. The book introduces a wide variety of Shimizu’s work to date, from fully-realized digital art to his prelim landscapes, hand-drawn in water color. These latter works remind us of Miyazaki storyboards. A bonus feature on the making of the cover illustration is included with bilingual Japanese and English text, giving readers a glimpse into the techniques that Shimizu uses when drawing. Yet another Japanese artist who is new to us, but we're very impressed with this. Wonderful detail, warm rich colors, and an imagination that takes the viewer into fully-realized fantasy worlds beyond space and time. Immerse yourself in the incomparably beautiful landscapes of fantastical imaginary worlds in Flexible.
