Olly Moss has quickly become, according to Slashfilm, "one of the most in demand and influential pop culture artists today". For his simple but brilliant first book, Olly has put his own twist on the Victorian art of silhouette portraits. While this gorgeous gift volume might look as if it's from the 1890s, its pages contain today's favourite cult characters from movies, TV, comics and videogames.
"Olly is very special. A new Brit great who straddles the cool of Banksy, the humour of Shrigley and a wit all of his own." (Duncan Jones (director of Moon and Source Code), from his Foreword) "His stuff sells out immediately, is worth a ton on the secondary market and is just plain cool." (Ain't It Cool News) "His minimalist musings on movie and pop-culture themes are always things of beauty." (Empire)"
Born in the UK in 1987, Olly Moss has quickly gained worldwide acclaim for his work, becoming "One of the most in demand and influential pop culture artists today" (Slashfilm). His clients have included Lucasfilm, Nike, Apple, The New York Times and Time Magazine.
