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.

The visual of vinyls. The most daring of record designs

This kaleidoscopic catalogue brings new meaning to the idea of “album art.” Celebrate vinyl not only for the integrity of its sound but also for its artistic potential as a material form. Spanning over 500 show-stopping records — from The Beatles to Bon Jovi, glow-in-the-dark effects to butterfly-shaped discs — discover how daring shapes, colours, and designs fashioned the identities of era-defining records and artists.

Now available as part of TASCHEN’s Bibliotheca Universalis series, this dazzling catalogue of vinyl brings new meaning to the “album art.” Produced in collaboration with Colors magazine, it brings together over 500 remarkable records from the collection of Alessandro Benedetti and Peter Bastine.

The book forms a junction between photography, music, and design, celebrating vinyl not only for the integrity of sound recording but also for its artistic potential as a material form. With featured artists including Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Prince, Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi and beyond, it offers compelling insight into the most intricate details of a performer’s visual identity, from a flamboyant colour to a futuristic mirror effect.

The discs are arranged thematically to span monochrome vinyl; unusual vinyl (including silver, gold or mirror vinyl as well as extremely rare glow-in-the-dark vinyl); multicoloured vinyl; etched vinyl (where music is pressed onto only one side); shaped vinyl (cut into forms that are different from the classic round disc); and picture discs (where a photograph or design is stamped onto the surface of the record). Page after page, this kaleidoscopic encyclopedia of game-changing vinyls is a colourful journey through era-defining records and artists.

The authors:

Italian producer and songwriter Giorgio Moroder helped create electronic dance music, and has worked with Donna Summer, David Bowie, Janet Jackson, Barbra Streisand, and many others. He also founded Musicland Studios in Munich, once used by legendary acts like Led Zeppelin, Queen, and Elton John.

Alessandro Benedetti began collecting coloured and unusual records in 1981, and now has 8,000 discs, including 1,200 coloured vinyl discs. In 1998 his collection won recognition in The Guinness Book of Records. His dream is to open a record museum so he can share his collection with the public.

The contributor:

Peter Bastine has been a DJ, record seller, and concert organizer. From 1977 until 1998 he collected every kind of picture disc; since then, mostly historical 78rpm records. Today his collection comprises around 8,000 picture discs, and has been the subject of several European exhibitions.

Bookworm’s delight — never bore, always excite!

A quarter of a century after its initial publication, and with more than a million copies in print worldwide, Brian Froud and Alan Lee’s Faeries is a certified fantasy classic. Now, Froud and Lee return to their most enduring and beloved work in this deluxe anniversary edition. This ultimate collector’s book features eight new pieces of art by Froud and Lee with the original pencil drawings and watercolors.

More than just a reissue, this deluxe revised and updated edition contains essays from both Froud and Lee on the continuing influence of Faeries. There is also a foreword by bestselling author Jane Yolen.

A few years ago, when Laird Borrelli’s bestselling Fashion Illustration Now was published, few commentators predicted the great renaissance in illustration that has now taken place.
Now, fuelled by the book’s publication, illustration is booming as never before.

Fashion Illustration Next focuses on the most innovative and exciting of the newly established names and a host of stars in the making, showing the highly distinctive styles of more than
40 international illustrators from 15 countries. It represents work not only from the world’s most influential fashion and style magazines, but also includes unpublished work either specially commissioned for Fashion Illustration Next or drawn from the artists’ own collections.

Complete with a self-portrait by each artist to accompany biographies and contact details, the result is one of the most irresistible and indispensable fashion publications of recent years.

This book charts contemporary illustration’s rich history: the rampant idealism of the 1960s, the bleak realism of the 1970s, the over-blown consumerism of the 1980s, the digital explosion of the 1990s, followed by the increasing diversification of illustration in the early twenty-first century.

The book explores the contexts in which the discipline has operated and looks historically, sociologically, politically and culturally at the key factors at play across each decade, whilst artworks by key illustrators bring the decade to life.

Contemporary illustration’s impact and influence on design and popular culture are investigated through introductory essays and profiles of leading practitioners, illustrated with examples of their finest work.

If you are full of ideas for fashion design but not confident when it comes to drawing figures it can be difficult to present your concepts on paper. This book provides the answer with a wide range of figure templates: figures in movement, figures from a variety of angles, full-length poses, three-quarter length poses, back views and front-on poses for men, women and children. The figures may be copied or photocopied and enlarged from the book or used as a guide to develop your own poses. There are tips on improving your fashion illustration skills plus sections on anatomy, figure proportions, fashion figure proportions and suitable art materials. Figure Templates for Fashion Illustration is a useful tool, not only for fashion students but also students without an art background on multi-disciplinary courses, as well as those who simply want to improve their basic drawing skills.

The 70's gave the world "Star Wars, Grease", "The Godfather", "Mad Max", "Alien", "Taxi Driver", "Texas Chainsaw Massacure", "Halloween", "Rocky" and a very blood thirsty shark who changed human perception of sharks for decades to come named "Jaws". These films along with other greats fill this book. Roger Moore also took over from Connery as James Bond and Clint Eastwood made a heap of Westerns. Find them here as well.

The 1980s was a decade in which filmmakers pulled put all the stops to dazzle audiences and make them jump out of their seats. And just as they marked the development of the special effects technology that sparked a wave of blockbuster films, the Eighties also saw the advent of the cutting edge computer techniques used by graphic artists in the promotional posters for these unforgettable films. It was the decade when filmmakers finally had the technology to transfer their visions to the screen, challenging graphic artists and illustrators to catch up, and many of its most enduring images are represented in this volume: the glow behind the lenses of Arnold Schwarzenegger's gargoyle-framed sunglasses that characterized the monolithic menace of "The Terminator"; the sarcastically simple crossed-out cartoon ghost that enticed audiences into the theaters to see "Ghostbusters"; the silhouette of the mysterious, domino-clad stranger that haunts the unbalanced mind of "Mozart in Amadeus"; the wisp of cigarette smoke that bisects the image of Sean Young's stoic face on the poster for "Blade Runner"; and many more.

The poster art presented in this volume represents the work of a new generation of graphic artists and designers, equipped for the first time with a brand new technology, in collaboration with visionary filmmakers - from Spielberg to Kurosawa, from Cameron to Ramis, from Foreman to Attenborough - who continually managed to keep our eyes riveted to the screen.

Back in the USSR. 250 film posters capture the cultural energy of the pre-Stalin era

At the intersection of the visual, graphic, and cinematic arts, film posters are a unique and thrilling record of a particular cultural Zeitgeist. This book brings together 250 posters from the pre-Stalin Soviet Union of the 1920s and 1930s to explore the energy and invention of this period before Soviet Realism became the official art doctrine.

Drawn from the private collection of connoisseur Susan Pack, the selection includes the work of 27 different artists. From bold figuration to architectural elements, each artist displays a distinct style and aesthetic, as much as they collectively eschew the glamour of Hollywood for more stark, striking, even challenging images, often marked by unusual angles, dynamic compositions, and startling close-ups.
