Hi!

Love ypour blog. I wanted to ask you if there is a "THE ART OF" book on the TRIPLETS OF BELLEVILLE, I have been trying to find information on books related to this movie, but it appears that they do not exist. What do you know? Thank you for all your insight on the art books.

Final Fantasy art books are really hard to find, especially the good ones. 背景画集 草薙4 has some background art of FFVII. The other Kusanagi books has a few background art on FF (VIII onwards) as well.

I haven't seen any good FF character design art books.

Do you know any other BG

Do you know any other BG design books that you can recommend?
I am a BG designer and I've got some BG books from Japan, but I was wondering if you know of any books just on Background Designs.

Thank you
