Cliente AmazonCliente Amazon: Le tavole del libro sono meravigliose, non conoscevo ancora l'autore e per me é stata una entusiasmante scoperta...
Anche la qualità della stampa é ottima ed il formato é sfizioso, anche se tavole tanto belle meriterebbero un formato alla francese.
In tutti i casi... Bello davvero! Se siete amanti del genere non potete non acquistarlo! Top!

Amazon Kunde: Excided my expectation.

First of: There are a lot of pages! I didn't pay attention to this before ordering since I just love the artist. But this book has a VAST collection of artworks.
Secondly I felt that the way the art is arranged was very well done. There are "clusters" of same subjects in different perspectives, scenery that seems to belong into the same set, topically related pieces (e.g. market stalls and underwater scenes) and reoccurring characters.
I felt like this gave a good inside to the artists process and exhilarated the experience.
The layout in general was very pleasing to the eye and the titles and little text blocks where integrated unobtrusive, yet added invaluable context to the pieces.
Lastly the book itself impressed with it's volume and easy to handle size.
I expected a more glossy "photoprint" paper, but it is a textured and matt paper instead, which I prefer, since it doesn't reflect light and is easier to study.

10 out of 10 would recommend!

Danny ChanDanny Chan: The interior is very nice. The colors inside printed very well, but I'm quite disappointed with the way the book sleeve was handled in shipping. It's hard to capture in photo, but you can see that it got quite mangled. When I first got the package, it was in an even worse state than this. The book sleeve for the paperback was crumpled at the bottom. This is the result after a couple days of weighing it down with heavier books. I'm quite disappointed with the quality of shipping, but in terms of print quality and content, it's very nice. It's a shame but I'd expect better quality for the book sleeve, especially for an art book where visuals are so important.

VZ: I have been collecting artbooks for a couple decades now, mostly 70s-90s Fantasy/Scifi. I generally shy away from Japanese artists save for very few grandmasters (Amano, Ohrai, Yoshida etc) since i hate the Anime aesthetic, androgynous character work and modern digital paintings. Having said that, Posuka Demizu's work is incredible. decidedly hand drawn and whimsical, it reminded me of why i got into this hobby: Artwork that sparks the imagination and pulls you into the world behind just a single image.

I cannot recommend this book enough. Every single page has a full color/full page image on it (save for a few 2 page spreads), no space is wasted, the printing is very high quality and done in Japan. Posuka Demizu is definitely an artist i will keep an eye for.

A+ artwork and quality.

LazloLazlo: This art book covers the manga artist, Pozuka Demizu's personal works. This book is a like a very small square dimension-wise but is a little more dense than you'd expect. Inside, Demizu depicts surreal environments, imps, and monsters, along with a good amount of machinery sprinkled throughout. Her line work has a very sketchy, graffiti-like ballpoint pen quality to it, but this isn't bad as it compliments her use of foreshortening and allows her use of moody colors to take the spotlight. While most artists revel in obsessing over smoothing out and over-polishing their illustrations, Demizu goes the opposite route by allowing the illustration's chaotic, sketchy roots to show in the end product.
