In her fifteen-plus years in existence, oddballs, outcasts, and art freaks the world over have grown to know and love a strange young girl named Emily. With roots in the punk-rock art scene of Santa Cruz skate culture and an early appeal to European trend spotters, the iconic image of Emily and her philosophy of devout individualism have become deeply rooted in global culture.
The Art of Emily Volume One is the first-ever collection of images showing the wide and inspired range of artistic styles and mediums that have been used to create the world of Emily the Strange. From skateboard stickers to custom rock-and-roll album art, large-scale psychedelic paintings, and insanely intricate Mongolian paper cutting, the fantastic and artful imaginings of Rob Reger, Buzz Parker, and a staggeringly talented array of collaborators will give insight and inspiration to any Emily fan.
Rob Reger is a published author of children's books and young adult books. Published credits of Rob Reger include Emily the Strange: Seeing is Deceiving, vol. 4; Emily the Strange; and Emily's Book of Strange. Rob Reger has grown Emily the Strange from an image on a few skateboards and T-shirts to an international fashion brand and publishing phenomenon. A thoroughly modern Renaissance man, Rob holds a master of fine arts in printing, contributes to the art and the writing of the Emily books, is the efficient and effective president of Cosmic Debris, plays rock guitar, and is a superlative skateboarder. Born in 1969, Rob makes his home in the Bay Area. View titles by Rob Reger
