The Art of Journey (CandB)

[Maarten Brands]

Hi all,

Cook & Becker (http://www.candb.com) will launch an art collection about Journey soon. Before this collection goes on sale I would like to invite the people on here to email me at shop(at)candb.com (if you haven't already :)) if you'd like a preview and a chance to reserve edition numbers before the artworks go on sale.

Haha, starting to feel guilty now ;)

I am definitely interested, as long as it is art and not glorified in game screenshots.

While I obviously disagree with your qualification of 'glorified screenshots', please feel free to send us an email and we will send you the presentation on Journey.

Thank you for the reply. By all means correct me if I am wrong, weren't the Bioshock prints just game screenshots and not art?

Not all of them.

The falling art was not a screenshot

Well, none of the BioShock prints were "just in-game screenshots" I would say. The in-engine image prints were all specially created renders at very high resolutions. I know these types of works don't really communicate that well on a - or our - website, because they look like screenshots but there was a lot more work to them than maybe meets the eye initially. Also to get them at these huge sizes.

As for whether it's art, I think you mean that they are not concept art or production design work? That is true. Whether or not it is 'art' is up to you of course, although we like to think so :). This is also the form that Irrational Games themselves decided they wanted to present the game's design in and it is our policy to let the creatives decide how they want to present their work.

Anyway, the Journey collection consists more of concept art and composite imagerey :)

Seriously can't wait for these. After the Bioshock Infinite prints, I'm hooked.
