EBOY:
21 x 28 cm - 512 pages, paperback, full colour
Famous for their illustration, web design, fonts and games, eBoy have
an international cult following. Their site www.eboy.com is one of
the coolest on the web. 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. As well as the
pixel-based work, the book features vector images by Peter Stemmler
and “backstage” photographs of eBoy. The images include
eBoy’s trademark eCities. Inspired by a love of buildings and
architecture and the challenge of endlessly recombining 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 colourful, funny, subversive and startlingly original.
