Wizard & Pirate Prize: The Art of the Quests - Gerry Gaston's Interactive Adventures Sketchbook Vol. II (Friend's Garden 2)

“Wizard & Pirate Prize” (2nd of the 2 books dedicated to the art of the Quest series, Gerry Gaston’s successful interactive adventures for children), along with “Lost & Dragon Treasure”, collects the preliminary art, animation frames and unused variants of the color illustrations used in the final books.

The book integrates the 1st volume with new thrilling art from the 3rd and 4th volumes in the Quest series, along with cartoon art done for a yet to-be-decided animated project based on the original interactive game-books.

An insight on the fantastic creatures and the characters of the Quests is also provided; playful variants of the covers can be seen along with a study of the Quests’ maps.

The book explains how the cooperation between Gerry Gaston and Laura Livi came to be and introduces the “Time Children”, a Blue Monkey Studio’s digital comics project (look for it in the upcoming months) which inspired the creation of some of Gerry’s characters and defined the artistic style for the Quests books.

Collecting 40 full color pages, the book is an enjoyable reading for both children and adults and the perfect companion to Gerry Gaston’s Quest series.
