An accomplished painter, illustrator, and comic book artist as well as designer of custom toys, clothing, accessories, and more, d'Errico showcases her perpetually stunning pop surrealist style in all its glory.

About the author

Camilla d’Errico is a product of her split heritage, Italian and Canadian rolled into one: Italian fiestiness, Canadian politeness, and an early addiction to Saturday morning cartoons, comics and manga. Growing up she was more often doodling sexy damsels and dragons on her textbooks than reading them. In 1998 when Camilla first attended her first San Diego Comic Con she realised that a 9–5 day job would kill her and this was what she wanted to do. Thanks to her relentless energy, dedication, and just enough sleep deprivation, she has followed her dream of working creatively for a living.

Camilla’s unique style continues to be in demand and her client list includes Dark Horse Comics, Image Comics, Random House, Tokyopop, Hasbro, Disney, Sanrio, Neil Gaiman and she also works with video game and movie companies on character development. Her own characters and properties, Tanpopo and Helmetgirls, are loved by fans and followers and now inspire Cosplay costumes. She has successfully merchandised and licensed her beautiful artwork across a variety of categories: clothing, stationery and gift, accessories, art prints, etc. and continues to expand her licensing program. Her emotive and eloquent paintings have propelled her to the top of the ranks of the New Contemporary art movement, and she is represented by Opera Gallery of New York.

Camilla can’t live without Holbein’s “DUO” water-soluble oils, green tea lattes, Hello Kitty merchandise, and her daily fix of manga and anime.

Wow!!! This book of Camilla d'Errico's artwork is so beautiful and so magical it deserves more than 5 stars. Hydie (cover of book) BEAUTIFUL. The chapter on Sublime Spectrum was my favorite. Prints of that whole chapter are now on my wish list and the book itself. It is definitely a masterpiece. Never seen anything like it.

A very enjoyable book to get through - Camilla's art is colourful, rich in detail, and beautiful to behold. Be it rainbow-coloured pieces or monochrome works, she does them all excellently. The book also showcases single-colour sketches/outlines.
