0 - Default Title
Description
The Art Of The Box is a sumptuous, 564-page celebration of video game box art, featuring the work of artists from across the last four decades. Featuring 26 biographies of artists who, at some point in their careers, found themselves illustrating video game packaging, including Bob Wakelin, Steve Hendricks, Ken Macklin, Tom DuBois, Steinar Lund, Marc Ericksen, Julie Bell and Susumu Matsushita among many others. With information drawn from live interviews wherever possible, we discuss their beginnings as an artist, their inspirations and influences, the games they illustrated, and where their artistic careers have taken them. Each biography is accompanied by lavish, full-color box artwork, supplied by the artists themselves, and each piece is presented without the usual logos and retail elements, so you see each piece as the artist intended. The Art Of The Box encompasses the full gamut of game packaging illustration, from the early days of Atari's iconic VCS box art, to modern-day collaborations between designers, CG artists and game developers for the latest AAA games.
