The Art of Emily the Strange collects the visual artwork that forms the backbone of Rob Reger’s franchise. Across two volumes, published in 2009 and 2016, these books document the design evolution of a character that started on stickers and grew into a global brand. The emphasis is squarely on illustration, design, and the visual language that gives Emily her distinctive look.
These are art books first and foremost. They offer a behind-the-scenes view of how the character was developed visually, from early sketches to finished merchandise designs. For fans of the character or students of alternative design culture, these volumes provide a thorough record of one of the more successful indie character properties of the past three decades.
