NAKAKI PANTZ, whose illustrations of women who are “strong, cute, and unique” have attracted a lot of attention, and has worked on creatives for many fashion brands and MV designs for MAISONdes. Works with a unique atmosphere that exquisitely mix the extraordinary and the feeling of life are gaining popularity.
This book is a collection of carefully selected works that trace the transition from the early days of his activities to the present, as well as newly drawn works. The making of two works that describe the artist’s thoughts and procedures in detail, a collection of rough sketches that can be said to be the basis of the work, an interview article that approaches the secret of creation, etc., the charm of the artist in a volume of nearly 200 pages. I packed everything in. With a large B5 wide format and state-of-the-art high-definition printing (brilliant palette), it is a specification that allows you to fully enjoy the original charm of the work.
