Clover Press launched a Kickstarter campaign today for THE DC ART OF RICCARDO FEDERICI, the fourth volume in the publisher’s The DC Art Of series. The high-end boutique art book brings together “the very best of Federici’s DC comics work in one comprehensive, oversized hardcover volume.”
Check out the campaign—which is already fully funded—right here!
This campaign features a 200+ page, 9″ x 12″, high-end coffee table book celebrating Federici’s incredible work for DC, and will showcase both finished artwork and behind-the-scenes material from the artist’s acclaimed career for DC.
In addition to the oversized hardcover, the campaign will feature Kickstarter-exclusive editions and collectibles celebrating Federici’s work, including a special slipcase and dust jacket, art portfolios featuring some of his most memorable DC characters, and more. And thanks to Clover Press, Monkeys Fighting Robots has an exclusive look at the sticker sheets you can get from the campaign!
“I’ve always had the need to create through drawing, painting, and sculpture, and like all self-taught artists, curiosity and experimentation have allowed me to approach a world that offers so many creative opportunities: the world of comics,” said Federici. “How you represent scenes, composition, anatomy, perspective, light and color, character acting, concept design, set design, etc. are all topics found within a single comic book interior page or cover. For me, comics are not just narration through sequential images: they are the result of reasoning explained in concrete and complex images that are the artistic expression of each author.“
“I remember when Riccardo’s work first hit all of our desks at DC on Dark Nights. Incredible work, and there was much discussion as to what he’d follow it up with,” said Clover Press Publisher Hank Kanalz. “What really stood out was the work he did with Phillip Kennedy Johnson on The Last God. He really built a new world from scratch and showed what he was really capable of doing.“
