The Die Young Collection is a selection of books with one only artist or collective as protagonist, all of them brand new talents. This is the first book for all of them, so all the work is previously unpublished. All of them are street artists or have a background in graffiti, but the books represent all the sides of their work, from the sketchbook to the street works, and including illustration, comercial works, designs and even photo sections that represent the artists' environment, friends and lifestyle. DY005 is dedicated to the Canadian artist Nicholas Di Genova. Without any doubt this is the most successful book of the DY collection, with more than 3500 copies sold. Di Genova's artwork has an unmistakable personality. It could be situated between an actualization of the species drawings by Albrecht Durer mixed with the monstrosities of Goya's dark age, in the style of Mike Mignola and a pop-art version of the biomechanical creations of H.R. Giger. His technique is a mixture of illustration, old school graphic design, and contemporary art. Nicholas has earned a high status in the underground scene of art and illustration. His shows in Canada, US and Europe have been always crowded events: most of the original drawings are sold, and the only and best way to get all them compiled in one single deluxe book is here! This book contains all his super-detailed mutations of animals from the early years until now. It will blow up your mind. Color.
