Art in books

We have come a long way from our Super Hero presentation at the beginning of the year. Now, we would like you to pay attention to the wonderful art derived from those good stories. On our display, check out the art books from the "Lord of the Rings" movies. It is amazing to see the drawings those stage and set designers dreamed of.


Even when I read those books I wouldn't have gone that far but they did a very respectful representation of the story line. In our mercantile world, movies are now making more money with the merchandising and marketing than with the cinema's entries. Producers and investors are laughing all the way to the bank with the profits made outside the movie itself. George Lucas was the first one to catch on to this new way of getting richer with his Star Wars animation figures, spaceships, DVDs, books, etc.
Take the time to flip through the pages of the books on display. We even brought a Tekken Art Book that can show you the evolution in the design of the different characters from the first version to the latest.

Have a look at the different art books along with the jackets of the books beside them. Did you know that you can earn a living by designing those book covers?
