An eagerly awaited first art collection and making-of book by BESHI, who depicts a charming yet subtly dark world with flowers and plants as the main motifs.
BESHI is a noteworthy illustrator known for delicately portraying fantastical illustrations that feel as if they belong to another world, using a cute yet dark and retro color palette. This luxurious art book features a carefully selected collection of works tracing the artist’s evolution from the early days of their career to the present, along with three newly drawn pieces: a cover illustration and two making-of illustrations.
A highlight of this book is the behind-the-scenes look at how the artworks are created, including rough sketches that serve as the foundation of the pieces and an interview that delves into the secrets of BESHI’s creative process.
With its large B5 wide format and nearly 200 pages printed in cutting-edge high-definition (Brilliant Palette) technology, this book is designed to let readers fully enjoy the original charm of each piece.
