Product Description
Book Description
Famous for their illustration, web design, fonts and games, eBoy have a cult following internationally.The eBoy world is unique, populated by robots, cars, guns and girls, all built up out of thousands of pixels. This is the first book devoted to their work, and with 500 pages it is the eBoy bible, containing their complete image database. Three quarters of the book is devoted to pixel-based work, and the other quarter to vector images by Peter Stemmler.
The images shown include eBoy's trademark eCities. Inspired by a love of buildings and architecture and the challenge of endlessly recombing different urban elements, these are painstakingly detailed and abound with monsters, seedy bars and porno cinemas. Another eBoy innovation is Peecol, an online project which invites users to recombine elements of images to form new ones.
Inspired by popular culture--shopping, supermarkets, televisions, LEGO, computer games--eBoy's imagery is colorful, funny, subversive and startlingly original.

Open Minded Designers, Oct 14 2004
By Karmen Flemming - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Eboy (Paperback)
This book is very hard core.. an awesome collection of excellent raster pixel graphics, and the occasional vector drawing. It also prominently features imagery for gaming, and there is a subtle flavour of Sept. 11 featuring throughout the book - how game designers used to think in terms of destruction and *** GAME OVER *** Is the game over for gaming after Sept. 11? Great book from a design perspective and highly talented designers eboy are.-- this book does contain imagery that may upset sensitive viewers. it also contains nudity -- as cute as it may appear it is NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN.
