Picture Gallery: The Art of Grasshopper Manufacture

As unveiled during our interview at last week's Gamelab in Barcelona, "The Art of Grasshopper Manufacture: The Complete Collection of SUDA51" will be available in Europe next week, specifically Thursday 9th of July.

However, here at Gamereactor, we've been able to take a good look at the art book, and it looks like a true must-have collector's item for fans of Goichi Suda and the Japanese studio.

The volume is not only full of beautiful, unique, inspired and some times disturbing art works created by the talented artists from the team, but it's also filled with references, anecdotes and commentary by Suda-san himself, thus unveiling some well-kept secrets about the development of the 22 games pictured, and adding to the enormous amount of fan-service found in the 224-page tome.

If you're a GhM-fan yourself, you've probably decided to pick it up already, so take this as an appetiser of what to expect in a week's time. If you're not, this might be also interesting and useful for graphic artists and art lovers in general. Click on the pictures below for bigger versions:
