San Jose, CA – August, 2007 DrMaster Publications Inc. and DGN Productions Inc. have officially announced the long-rumored art book: The Art of Yasushi Suzuki. It will ship nationwide this June 2007.

Graphic artist and game designer Yasushi Suzuki has meticulously compiled a stunning cache of his own work history. The Art of Yasushi Suzuki will showcase nearly 100 images, some of which were designed specifically for this book, including art from the video games Ikaruga (Sega), and Sin & Punishment (Nintendo), plus cover art from the Japanese language version of George R.R. Martin’s New York Times best-selling series, A Song of Ice and Fire.

Since the announcement of Purgatory Kabuki, Yasushi’s first manga work, the internet has seen a constant buzz of interviews and forum discussions, crisscrossing the video game and comic book divide. This project is the result of the team’s great long-term planning. At last year’s Comicon in San Diego it was announced to fill the gap between the PK announcement and its publication, by releasing exactly what “D-Suzuki” fans scour the internet for: more of his stellar art and graphic designs!

The images featured within will run the gamut from traditional and classic styles to contemporary creations and sleek futuristic, sci-fi designs.

BONUS MATERIAL:

• Foreword by Dave Halverson, Editor-in-Chief of Play Magazine
• Sneak peek at the highly-anticipated manga Purgatory Kabuki
• Features artist interviews with IGN.com and Got-next.com
