The second collection from Ilya Kuvshinov, the illustrator with magical colors.

Following the worldwide success of Momentary, PIE International is proud to present this second collection from Ilya Kuvshinov, Eternal. This book collects popular artworks the artist has posted on social media that were created after Momentary was published. After the success of that book, Ilya has gained popularity and has had major exhibitions and commercial works. One of the most prestigious jobs Ilya took on was as the character and visual designer for the anime "Birthday Wonderland" (directed by Keiichi Hara; Crayon Shin-chan series). This talented illustrator, who was influenced by many Japanese artists, now has 1.5 million followers worldwide on Instagram, and is established as an influencer of other illustrators around the world.

Eternal features special printing technology to reproduce the beautiful colors of Ilya's CG illustrations, enhancing the quality of the of 4-color printing. As social media is the main platform where Ilya presents his works, Momentary was published in a square format. But this time, to have more variety and include illustrations with different sizes, we have produced this book in a larger format.

About the Author:

Kuvshinov Ilya is an illustrator and storyboard artist born and raised in Russia, who now resides in Japan. With experience in concept art, comic art and animation, his goal is to create a unique story-based media to inspire people to believe in their own strength and ability to move forward in life.

Everyday Scenes from a Parallel World is a celebration of the beauty of the scenes and backgrounds in anime and manga. 

This unusual book turns the spotlight exclusively on the scenes and background illustrations. With only a few ordinary characters in these scenes, attention here is focused on the beauty of the illustrated backgrounds.

These background artworks feature familiar scenes from daily life: nostalgic townscapes, detailed cityscapes, intricate architecture, rooms that look like doll houses, etc. They are extremely realistic and detailed -- almost like photographs -- but at the same time give readers the sense that we are looking at images of a parallel world.

The works featured are by 39 well-known, mostly Japanese creators, illustrators, and animators. Some creators featured have made their entire careers specializing in drawing backgrounds. Frequently overlooked, this book finally gives them the recognition they deserve. Additionally, a section that explains drawing techniques and materials is included. The profiles of creators with messages from each, descriptions of each creator's techniques and preferred materials are written in both Japanese and English text.

This stunning collection will appeal to all art lovers and is sure to bring creators massive inspiration, too.

About the Author:

PIE International specializes in books for graphic designers, and high-quality visual books on photography, art, and Japanese Culture (Traditional and contemporary), as well as manga and comic art, and more.

The highly anticipated follow-up to Framed Ink from Marcos Mateu-Mestre, Framed Ink 2 provides insight into another compositional tool that Marcos uses every day to create his amazing artwork – the energy within the working frame. In each piece of art, regardless of its format, one must consider essential factors such as the push-pull, tension-relaxation, pressure-release, balance and imbalance that happen inside the working area to support our storytelling.

All of these factors apply in any aspect ratio, whether it be horizontal, vertical or square, each a format to consider when working in the movie, gaming, animation and graphic novel industries, which in our day and age can be presented through a variety of outlets such as a movie theater, home theater, social media and a number of personal devices. Marcos encourages and educates us on how not to be limited by the format but to embrace and rise to the challenge of designing for each format.

A perfect accompaniment to his prior releases Framed Ink, Framed Perspective Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 and Framed Drawing Techniques, this book will take a reader's knowledge base to the next level and allow them to build on their expertise as an effective visual storyteller.
