A great new art book dedicated to the works of Hajime Sorayama, the
world-renowned illustrator, is available in the form of Venom: Hajime
Sorayama HC, and it is available exclusively through Diamond Comic
Distributors!
Hajime Sorayama is known around the world for his intense,
hyper-illustrated style of fantasy and erotic art. Sometimes described as an
imaginative modern day Vargas, his conceptual originality and futuristic visions
transcends the erotic form and maintains a growing number of mainstream
admirers.
This new 140-page hardcover art book includes over 70 full
color illustrations from Sorayama, 25 of which are published for the first time,
exclusive to this volume! The images are accompanied by the artist's often
uproariously funny musings and conceptual notes. This book also features a
special section tracing Sorayama's creative process from sketch to completed
work, as well as an overview of the books, movies, and music that inspired
Sorayama, and Sorayama's personal journal entries that cover a near two-year
period. The cover is made of faux snakeskin hardcover and includes an
illustrated slipcase. The book is published in English, and is the perfect
addition to the collections of any erotic art collector!
