The Illustrated Yod

December 26th, 2007 by Horrorwood

今月、僕の大好きなイギリス人アーティスト、ジェームス・ジャービスがイラスト集を出した。この本のリリースの記念として、ジャービスのステキなモンスターのイラストが付いている超限定YODフィギュアも同時発売。本はすごく立派で、2002年~2007年に描いたスケッチのコレクションが載っている。本もいいけど、やっぱりYODのフィギュアは最高!!

実は、僕はまたちょっとわんぱくになって、このセットを自分へのクリスマス・プレゼントとして買っちゃった...大人買いって危ないよね~。でも、本にはジャービスの直筆が入ってたので既に僕にとって宝物になっている。

To celebrate the release of James Jarvis’ Selected Drawings, Amos Toys released a very limited edition Yod figure covered in James’ wonderful creature designs. The book itself is a magnificent tome, full of the artist’s original sketches from 2002-2007, but for me the Yod figure is the icing on the cake.

I was a bit naughty once again and treated myself to this set for Christmas…
The book is also signed by the man himself, making it a definite jewel in my collection.

    I really like the look of that book. Is it sold separately?

    Thought you might like it. There are actually a few font samples hidden in amongst the sketches too… Anyway, to answer your question, yes you can buy just the book. The link in my article will take you to Amazon where they seem to have it, but it would probably be easier and cheaper to get it directly from the Amos Toys Japan online shop.
