Reihe: The Ashley Wood Library

We are thrilled to make you discover this first volume of the collection AWL, lightweight and gentle price. This partnership between Caurette Editions and 7174 publishing offers an overview of Ashley Wood’s titanic work.

Owner of prestigious prices such as the Spectrum Award, the Communication Art Award and named at the Eisner Awards, Ashley Wood is a multiform artist: a creator of worlds who takes care himself of the conception, the artistic direction and the production of his creations. His style is close to impressionism, and he managed to become a major actor in the field of independent comic books. You’ll find him in various domains: animation, comic books, the making of 3D objects through is very own structures, 7174 and UV.

Let yourself be tempted by this original square-shaped volume, an impressionist investigation into the realm of Eros and Thanatos, and most of all, discover recent works that have never been published before! The themes are modern, but the technique is traditional: they're all either oil on canvas or acrylic, which adds an impression of physicality echoing with the main themes.

Signs of Ashley Wood haunting - Erotic Femme - High Heels and Robots. If these are evident it may be Ashley Wood manifesting!

Never heard about Ashley Wood? Allow us the pleasure of a small introduction: illustrator, painter, concept artist, comics writer, he worked as a freelance artist as well as for numerous prestigious clients like Marvel, DC Comics, Image Comics.. etc. But don’t think that drawing is ‘all’ he can do! He also worked on well-known video games such as Metal Gear Solid by Konami, on movies (and tv shows), clothing lines and even better, a lot of great toys!

Let’s end this list by saying that two of his stories are currently being adapted for the screen: Popbot and World War Robot (bought by Disney and directed by Jerry Bruckheimer, no less!).

With such a background, Ashley Wood won a lot of awards: Spectrum Gold Award (twice), Award of excellence for illustration, Eisner Award, Eagle Award (trice), Designer Toy Award – Artist of the year 2011, etc…
