ART OF ATARI (Hardcover) (25 Oct 2016) Dynamite Entertainment
While shopping at Half Priced Books, I saw the Art of Atari
book for $19.99 (condition: new). While this is a good deal (half off
retail price), it's still not quite enough for me to buy it. Still, I'm
just passing this along. You can find the book in the video game
section.
If you don't live near a store, they have an online store.
ART OF ATARI (Hardcover) (25 Oct 2016) Dynamite Entertainment
I flipped through the Art of Atari book and went to the pages that listed George Perez. As previously mentioned, it is a reprint of ATARI AGE #3, minus the logo.
It's actually really gorgeous, seeing it in person, but it is a little too expensive to buy for just one image.
You are bidding on an exclusive piece of original artwork and a unique
piece of video gaming history. We have here the original cover painting
for Atari Age Magazine Vol. 1, No. 3, featuring characters from the Swordquest games, drawn by legendary comic book artist George Perez.
(excerpt)
This piece is due to be featured in Tim Lapetino's forthcoming art book The Art of Atari: From Pixels to Paintbrushes.
Photographs were taken by Lesly Deschler Canossi of Fiber Ink Stuios.
The framing, matting, and packaging of this piece for shipment were
handled by Polizzi Fine Arts in Brooklyn, NY.
Atari is one of the most recognized names in the world. Since its
formation in 1972, the company pioneered hundreds of iconic titles
including Asteroids, Centipede, and Missile Command. In addition to
hundreds of games created for arcades, home video systems, and
computers, original artwork was specially commissioned to enhance the
Atari experience, further enticing children and adults to embrace and
enjoy the new era of electronic entertainment. The Art of Atari is the
first official collection of such artwork. Sourced from private
collections worldwide, this book spans over 40 years of the company's
unique illustrations used in packaging, advertisements, catalogs, and
more. Co-written by Robert V. Conte and Tim Lapetino, The Art of Atari
includes behind-the-scenes details on how dozens of games featured
within were conceived of, illustrated, approved (or rejected), and
brought to life! Includes a special Foreword by New York Times
bestseller Ernst Cline, author of Armada and Ready Player One, soon to
be a motion picture directed by Steven Spielberg. Whether you're a fan,
collector, enthusiast, or new to the world of Atari, this book offers
the most complete collection of Atari artwork ever produced! "For me,
revisiting the beautiful artwork presented in this book is almost as
good as taking a trip in Doc Brown's time machine back to that halcyon
era at the dawn of the digital age. But be warned, viewing these images
may leave you with an overwhelming desire to revisit the ancient
pixelated battlefields they each depict as well." -- from the Foreword
by Ernest Cline, author of READY PLAYER ONE
