I started my career as a graphic designer in print media in 2006, and for some time I worked primarily with publishers specialized in tourism-related media. In 2013, I chose to pursue freelancing in order to focus on my personal projects. This allowed me to work directly with artists and to become specialized in creating art publications.
Since then I've had the pleasure of working with a range of clients including Even Mehl Amundsen, Andrew Mar, James Martin, Kim Jung Gi, Katsuya Terada, Jesper Ejsing, and many more. I also created and headed Firestarter Community Magazine from 2017 until June 2020, when it was acquired by CGMA, who continues to work with me and my team to bring educational content to the creative industry with the Nexus Mag.
For a couple of years, I have been working as a Creative Consultant for the Playgrounds events and also with CD Projekt RED for their event Promised Land.

Finally got to properly flip through the two books that come with the Collector's Edition of The Art and Soul of Dune by Insight Editions. Amazingly fabricated books with some serious work in them. And here is a link to the unboxing video of the same edition that I recorded a long time ago: ▶︎ ua-cam.com/video/5OiEH1_cNLg/v-deo.htmlsi=FOLf2aLdoyvxowLX Aside from that, there are a couple of link...

Why don´t show de cover of de BOOK?????????????????
What an outstanding artist and craftsman. Yoann's work is like Alan Lee's on steroids.
My favourite page Heimdall 😍
Great review🎉❤ I definitely will buy myself
Do you know if they will ever restock this book ? They wont answer me
In general I find the art of AC2 restricted when compared with historical cities in the other games... Florence and Rome are never portrayed with the glory that Paris and London are for example and I think it's a shame
I think the standard edition covers are better than the deluxe, BUT the prints!! I had to quickly cancel my order of the standard. It's on sale rn, standard $50, Deluxe down from $240 to $70aud
gonna bave to pick this up this guys work is great
It was nice to see more or less a flip through of the entire book, EBAY is wild with the prices. Thank you for sharing!
What an absolutely delightful collection you've got there! Thank you for sharing!!
Cheers! :)
just found your channel while searching videos about phil hale. loved your content, you guys gained a new follower!!
<3
Please give us some time to screenshot the book title or do a subtitle or even better .. a list. Thanks! Great selection.
The page depicting Bruce's Cafe Racer is wrong. It is correct about it being a Honda CB750 Frame but they show Catwomen's BMW R Nine! Not sure why there has been little to no coverage about his drifter bike.
I think I have some art books in my collection from other productions that credit the artists in some way. I remember seeing their full names underneath various concept sketches. But yeah, all art books should credit all oarticipating artists
I found this book in a used bookstore way back in the early '80's! I went through a spiritual crisis/breakdown in the late '80's and tossed a lot of my comic and artist collections into the garbage (couldn't let all this satanic stuff pollute someone else's mind, could I? 😉) ... worse, I ripped the book apart and tore it up!! Which means: give your collections to a trusted friend for safekeeping until you get over the madness!! Believe me you'll thank yourself decades later i stead of kicking yourself (like I do!!) ....There's no way I can afford to get a copy now..I console myself with a digital copy found online....
wow, what a story :D
Tim has released a 4th 2019-2020 its supposed to be his largest one, and iMYo it seem to be his best content. So if you dont have it already you should get it :)
Yes, I have heard about it, but since there is such an overlap in content I am not sure if I will. Or am I misinformed?
Why did you flip through it like that? :O WAY too fast! I wanted to see way more! Lol
Haha, I probably should make a new one anyway. This is one of my first videos :)
I miss it, I wish they will offer it for sale again.
Herbert also blocked his gay son from seeing and saying goodbye to his terminally ill mother. Monster
yeah that's just evil
@@Spiridude On a positive note - -big fan of your books and really enjoying your videos!
Thanks Richard!
Alternate title - "Man ruffles through paper for 10 minutes"
I hesitated because of the price, but this convinced me to get it. Absolutely beautiful!
Why blur everything out? There are plenty of other videos that don't blur the images, and they don't require sign-in verification. Lame.
Because that's still against the youtube guidelines. They just don't enforce them fairly. You don't always get away with it.
i met her a few years ago. A highlight of my life. She's genuinely kind. Thank you for sharing. Going to save up a little and get the book.
Just came across your channel, really cool videos! I haven't been in the UA-cam artbook space long, but always good to see videos from others. Keep it going man, got a new sub!
Cheers! You got a great channel going! :)
@@Spiridude Thanks! Plodding along and it's going OK, hoping to add reviews sometime in the future if my schedule allows it to :) How many books do you have in your collection?
@@TheArtbookCollectorgosh, i remember counting the other day with folks on my discord. Probably around 500? I got quite a few in the basement so it is hard to tell…
@@Spiridude Damn, that's a lot! All artbooks or is it a mix? I have just over 300 now, all artbooks for games, movies, shows, comics and a few other bits
@@TheArtbookCollector Artbooks only, with comics it is more. Probably another 3-400 comics :)
Hey any Arcane or fortiche books out there?
Thanks for video, did not know artist. Nice book
love the art in this book nwh was awesome just hate that twitter tries to nitpick every scenario.
That's one of the reasons why I am not there :D
@@Spiridude good point haha , i wish we could get an amazing spiderman 3 movie his universe felt more grittier with the color correction and all.
She has such beautiful work, I recently got her Raw Materials v2 book and it's a constant source of inspiration.
Welcome back! , i love clean art books like these when its just personal stuff kind of deal. I might pick this one up if its still in stock.
Yeah, simplicity is beauty
@@Spiridude true its not like over the top either like it is in some gaming / movie concept books which is kinda more relaxing at times.
Incredible book. Almost as incredible as your beard Thanks for making art books vids <3
Haha thanks man :D
Gorgeous works and presentation!
This looks incredible... think you just sold a book for someone here :)
Hah, I hope I did :) This is really a great book!
Criminally underrated
I agree!
more videos! :D
on it :D
I'm looking forward to picking both of the books up at some point, though probably not the special editions. But I've absolutely been enjoying the new Dune films and just the entire look, feel and mood of them. So much of that starts at the drawing board/computer and it looks like they give you a lot of info in these books. I really want to get the books connected to the Dark Souls games and Elden Ring, the designs in those games are so interesting. As far as signatures, they are nice to have, I do enjoy that when I get some of my kickstarter books signed, though I think it's a bit more special to get something signed in person if you can, easier said than done though. I picked up a few of Cory Godbey's books recently at Emerald City Comic Con and just being able to get them signed and spend time talking to him about his art and career was fantastic. Anyway, great review, that book looks so nice. Cheers
Yeah, of course it matters more if you had just a second to get smth signed personally. If you live far from any conventions happening, the better alternative is to buy it signed though. I mean, if your goal is to build a collection that is usually the preference.
Hello I think no names posted due to blizzard owning all the art etc and not giving credit! Hey with all your contacts any news about them maybe doing an art book if the church they did in France for the release of game? I think artist was Adam Miller
Just read more info about you and cursive; I think you should make the book about the Diablo/ church art book! 3 aspects. Diablo game art Actual artwork and then it’s use for a music video by artist Halsey! I think book would sell good
Thanks for the suggestion :) So there have been a couple of projects in the past that were close to becoming real, at least in conversation, but were always shattered by corporate interests and deals with Dark Horse, which I understand. I am only a small designer, and cannot offer the kind of framework and coverage such a major publisher could offer. Any Star Wars or Disney or major gaming studio deals never worked out, even though artists, directors and producers wanted to work with me. It is just how it is in the end, and I accepted it after all these years of gatekeeping :)
@@Spiridude absolutely it’s a bummer that these things never come your way market or get shared more. Going back to the church thing they did for the Diablo release I did not get to attend in person but some of those pieces I seen were excellent. It’s a shame these pieces are either locked up at Blizzard basement lol
@@bwpospolyta I saw the stuff when they aired it and also the trailer that was teasing the project. but yeah, it is blizzard and I am not even trying.
Should I buy Art of Diablo 3, or this one? I also have the art of Blizzard Entertainment coming that has some Diablo it in....
I can't tell. Best take would be to try and get a view on the book you want and decide then. I do not have the book for Diablo 3 though as the look of the game suggested the book would likely not be up my alley.
Alan Lee is a legend
You love God of War & Tool?!? I’m your newest subscriber!
I want this book so bad, It was on sale recently and I missed it, but I have a sneaking suspicion my wife may have got it for me for my birthday which is still several months away. But's that's okay, I have so many art books and a backlog of books I've picked up waiting for me to go through. Both my wife and I are artists with a "Healthy" addiction for collecting art books and backing way to many kickstarters. Haha. Cheers to you and all the work you do man.
Thanks man :)
so~never seen the art book inside is called unboxing?hmm,brava~
Yep, I planned a separate review because it would have become a too-long video. I never edited and uploaded it, but this is a good reminder to actually put it out or better, record a new one.
Thank you so much for this walkthrough - I need to have this book! The movie was amazing. I grew up with Buton's Batman - and I love it! Then came Nolan and made a masterpiece. But this new one feels special... so precise, so real, so human (not much of a superhero) and still so dark... I loved it and I'm looking forward to the sequel.
Wow, it took you 8 minutes just to get the book out of the box 😂
Saw the lowest price for this book offered on EBay for $150. Do you know of an even lower price anywhere else.
No, I really have no idea where to get it, sorry...
This video gives me a package of mixed emotions... lately my artbook addiction has gone quite wild, I just love owning something from the artists I like the most, but I felt lonely: knowing that somewhere there are other people with this passion made me feel less lonely (somehow). Some of those pieces are surely hard to find (cause I was checking some of 'em during the vid), it really shows how much you do care both about the art and the artist. So thank you for this video, I discovered new artists like VONN!
