Hardback. Etat : Good. The debut monograph from renowned pixel artist Waneella, showcasing a decade of her distinctive pixelated landscape compositions. This compelling monograph documents Waneella?s journey from novice pixel-pusher to world-renowned artist, indisputably the leading name in this new reinvention of the once-retro pixel-art aesthetic. The book takes us from her early experiments with the pixel art form creating pseudo-videogame visuals, through to the years where her unique style crystallized, fusing sci-fi-tinged architecture, cinematic hints of narrative, and masterful deployment of light sources and shadow. Alongside this complete catalogue of Waneella?s works are several ?Process? sections, walking the reader through Waneella?s working style, which often initially draws influence from Japanese streets found via Google Streetview. Her creative process is explored step by step, detailing the underlying structure, rigorous perspective work and experimentation that goes into every piece.

Opening with a foreword by Japanese videogame designer and fellow T&H author of Project UrbEx, Ikumi Nakamura, the book features a 5,000-word profile charting Waneella?s creative journey in her own words.…
