The best of the best in gaming from a single decade: 19881998! As most gamers know, this ten-year period is incredibly crucial. It was during this time that the NES reached its zenith with such titles as Contra and Super Mario Bros. 3, the Sega Genesis blew everyone away with Sonic the Hedgehog, the Super Nintendo released to critical acclaim, the Sony PlayStation took video games to the next level, and the Nintendo 64 broke new ground with 3-D Mario and Zelda. Amazing! This book covers the era in great detail, with each game getting an in-depth essay that includes history, development info, nostalgic stories, and much more. The author wrote more than a dozen of the essays, with other writers and industry notables contributing essays on their favorite games as well. Finally, the follow-up to The 100 Greatest Console Video Games: 19771987 is here!

This book is an excellent tool for learning to sketch on location. Through the "no drawing first" technique, readers will learn to use only watercolour and a brush to draw in notebooks, make quick urban sketches, keep visual journals and create compelling outdoor urban work. Designed like a workshop on the go, with more than fifty progressive exercises, this book invites you to experiment with watercolour by translating space and movement through shapes and color into masses and values rather than contours and strict rules of perspective. The author, a theatrical scenic painter, urban sketcher and urban sketching teacher, shows you how to represent the world around us. She encourages the reader to observe the place, to understand it, to learn how to choose the subject when capturing the place's soul, preserving the sense of the fleetingness of the instant described. The themes include vegetation, buildings, forms of people in movement and stop-motion.

The herbarium approach here offers you a window into the natural character of plants, which lets you make your fabric versions amazing. These wearable projects from naturalist and fiber artist Utopiano don't just visually replicate each plant but represent everything about it-even including invisible elements like scent, power, and presence. Plus, each project includes easy instructions for dyeing your cloth pieces, a feature that helps capture the colors of nature and makes these one of a kind. The herbarium format unfolds like this: first, each plant is collected directly from the field, and its key info and uniqueness are explained. Then, use the patterns that Utopiano offers you here to create fabric versions for wearing or display. Make a chic Frilly Pansy brooch with petals dyed in multicolored layers. Create the cold-resistant edelweiss using velvet to capture the plant's dense hair and thickness. Feel the pure joy of translating blooming flowers into fabric with your own hands!
