Cook & Becker Okami Prints

[Maarten Brands]

I wanted to give a heads-up that shortly after E3 we'll be releasing an Okami print collection together with Capcom. Do you have any favorite Okami images?

Also, we filmed all the processes at Cook & Becker. What kind of of company we are. How we make our prints, what a liquid gloss finish is. How we pack and ship our artwork etc. I know some of you were curious

great vid!

Love okami artwise.

But seems a weird time to release (no new game or anything to hype it).

Great Video!

I loved seeing the process at how the images are prepared and printed!

Also an Okami print might just be my first purchase from you guys!

[Maarten Brands]

Thanks!

If you check the Cook & Becker Youtube channel we have detailed videos of all the processes including our packing and handling as I know you guys care about that

There is no timing reason for us to do an Okami launch. We just always wanted to do Okami for ourselves as it's such a nice and different game aesthetically and now was our chance! Also, it's kind of a spring/summer game and now we can give it the necessary space before all the end of year blockbuster stuff.

We also want to try and price Okami as affordable as possible and we think it would be a great series for people to try-out a C&B print if they've never bought from us before.

Yes I actually just watching almost all the video.
Very informative!

And I am glad to hear that they may be as affordable as possible! I have only heard great things about your prints, so I for one am excited to see Okami there and the chance to see your prints in person.

Thank you for stopping by and giving us a heads up as always Maarten!

I like the sound of this. ^o^ Unfortunately C&B prints are way out of my price range, but I have heard such great things about the quality of your products. I look forward to seeing what prints are in the pipeline for Okami. I loved Okami and my GF did even more so. Hopefully you will be getting these out before the end of the year as this will make a great Christmas or Birthday present for her. ^o^

Will be keeping an eye on this thread.

As a proud owner of the okami artbook ( and it beeing my favourite artbook after Journey ), my choices in print would be the following ( taken from my artbook )






















(less colored artworks are really great too, I love the rough feel it have )




There are so many more I love from the artbook ( one especialy that has a really little space for it on the artbook titled " amaterasu theater, Act XI ( february 24th, 2006 ) which apparently was released for the electronic express post , it's on the page 141 of the artbook, I'll try to take a picture later tonight ) but I don't want to clutter the topic with them, I get carried pretty easily when it come to art XD

Now I stopped working and I'm having a look at the artbook thanks to this thread

[Maarten Brands]

The Okami art book is great! One of my faves too. Very well done.

The creative director/art director of Okami is actually quite a rising star in the contemporary art world as well.

I can confirm that some of the images you just posted will be available as a print! Not all, because the resolution is not high enough on some of the archived images, but at least a couple.

Due to archival pigment inks we use and the fine art papers there is always a cost involved that we can't get around, but we'll do our best. I'll update in this thread when I have something more concrete.
