Description: The first art book by Dr.MORICKY who illustrates the world of a “toy box”.
Long awaited by fans, this is the first art book by the Japan-based illustrator Dr.MORICKY featuring approximately 750 art works.
Dr.MORICKY creates characters that are cute, cool and a little quirky. Filled with surprises and the thrill of the unexpected, Dr.MORICKY’s artistic world has earned a devoted following both in Japan and overseas.
From the “NOJAO” series featuring mysterious cat-like creatures to the tiny “toymini” subjects to the “GIRLS” chapter featuring girls with many different kinds of cuteness, this book bundles a retro, nostalgic world of illustration into 320 pages.
What's more, the book features commentary on various recurring motifs, such as those in the “mimir” series depicting cats sleeping on futons, along with previously unpublished sketches and early works from 2014 that are at the root of the artist’s creative practice.
A book that truly lives up to its name, we hope you enjoy the world of Dr.MORICKY’s “toy box”, to your heart’s content.
