This is a small, illustrated book, where I explain my principles for the creative process and the important lessons, tips and lifehacks I learned while working as a designer.
Basically, almost a decade of experience compressed in between two covers.
Being able to make this book is a great achievement for me, and I am happy to see it finally published. It’s something I want to leave behind, for future generations of visual artists.
Hopefully, there is something useful for everyone inside, as many principles are universal. I honestly believe we live in the best period for artists in the history of our species, to unleash unbounded creativity.
Finally it’s our time!
Not only to survive, but to enjoy and thrive!

One aspect that really worked well for the book is the fact that it was an iterative and collaborative process.
After completing the initial draft, I sought feedback, advice, and revisions from multiple industry veterans to ensure that the content was as good as I could make it and the book holds value. Both in terms of ideas and in terms of efficient communication.
This approach helped me identify areas for improvement and make necessary changes, resulting in a better product.

Great Overview
’’ I wish I could have read it back in the day, to avoid all the long hours spent on deciding whether I’m heading in the right direction or not.
This book is a great overview of the industry, where Adrian shares his experience and lessons learned through years of practicing this craft, to give you perspective for envisioning your journey into becoming a concept designer. ’’
A JUMPING OFF POINT
’’ Overall I think the book is a great asset to have, a jumping off point in terms of knowing those little tidbits of information that we learned either the hard way or got a tip form someone from the industry ’’
I’m the type that likes to do first and then tell. So there are very few people that knew about this, until now. Because this is an indie project close to my heart and a self-published book, all the production and associated costs were paid fully from my own pocket. For now, I could only afford 1000 pieces to be made.
So it’s kind of a ultra super limited edition.
MORE THAN JUST ANOTHER BOOK
’’ More than just another book about how to paint or work with 3D, Adrian dives into what the mindset of a good concept designer is. Both beginners and pros will find invaluable information to take their designs skills to the next level ’’
