This is just a big week for book announcements, isn’t it?

Hands down, one of the coolest artists in the new wave poster game is Olly Moss, the man behind the amazing minimalist movie posters and other unique design work which you’ve no doubt seen across the web. I’ve also had the pleasure of briefly meeting him in person, and again, a very rad guy.

That said, there has been no greater summary of his work than his “Paper Cuts” gallery show this time last year. A gallery of it lives on the web here, but later this year, Titan Books will be releasing Sillouettes From Popular Culture, Olly’s first ever book!

The proper release date is to be announced, but I am very very excited for the book to hit shelves.  Here’s the official write up.

Titan Books to publish the first book collecting striking and playful art from influential pop culture artist

Born in the UK in 1987, Olly Moss has quickly become “one of the most in demand and influential pop culture artists in the world today" (Slashfilm). Titan Books are delighted to announce the acquisition of worldwide rights to publish a lavish hardback collection of Moss’s sought-after series depicting popular characters from films, television and video games in beautifully crafted Victorian-style silhouette portraits.

Olly Moss’s clients have included Nike, Apple, Lucasfilm, Sony Entertainment, Paramount, The New York Times and Time Magazine. His projects vary from posters for classic and contemporary films (including Star Wars and, most recently, The Avengers), to art for bestselling games such as Resistance 3, and designs for Levi’s and Urban Outfitters.

Silhouettes From Popular Culture collects Moss’s acclaimed Paper Cuts’ series exhibited at the sold-out solo show at LA’s famous pop-culture Gallery 1988. The book will have a foreword written by Duncan Jones (director of Source Code and Moon) and will be published in a gorgeous gift volume in October.

Praise for Olly Moss

“His minimalist musings on movie and pop-culture themes are always things of beauty.“ Empire

“His stuff sells out immediately, and is just plain cool.“ Ain’t It Cool News

“Bold graphics, serious inspiration and a wry sense of humor.“ New York Times

“When people think of a “pop idol" they generally think of someone who is young, talented, had a quick rise to fame and the kind of devoted loyal fan base who’d wait 24 hours on the street to see them. By those standards, and many more, U.K. based artist Olly Moss is now a pop idol.“ Slashfilm

This is definitely going to be a book I need on my coffee table!

Silhouettes From Popular Culture is due to be released this October.
