I own many art books. I'm an artist and an animator by trade, so I favor those sorts of art books. There will be days where I sit in my living room, a stack of them all around me, and I'll read through them for hours. So I knew, as a fan of the show's background designs specifically, that I needed to add Adventure Time: The Art of Ooo to my collection as soon as I heard of its release.
I was not disappointed.
In fact, The Art of Ooo has changed my expectations for art books. This book is special. It's the book I recommend to those aspiring toward an animation career regardless on if they've seen Adventure Time or not. This book is THOROUGH; it is so much more than a collection of beautiful illustrations. You get the show's origin story. You learn about the team behind the Adventure Time universe. You glimpse their studio process, their pitch bible, and even the art tests they send to prospective new recruits. I learned so much from this book. I'm STILL learning so much from this book.
The Art of Ooo is huge. You won't be carrying this book with you on the train to read during your commute -- heck, it's difficult enough reading it before bed! The book is heavy, but it's overflowing with excellent information and amazing artwork. Out of my entire collection, this art book is my favorite. It'll surely become yours, too!

Spectacular.
Spectacular book. Really. I got it for a 13 year old who is very into illustration and he was glued to it. Everyone who passed by couldn't resist. This thing is chock full of different types of art and information. Concept art, how-to's, merchandise mock-ups, andtests. I think I may get one for myself. BTW, it's heavy. Noticeably heavy, which feels substantial. The dust jacket is cool, but underneath is the actual cover, which is yellow, and is awesome.

Me gusta que el formato sea apaisado como los de Pixar pero es ligeramente más alto y más grueso.
Lo pasaremos guay!
