I bought the author's signed version. This is a hardcover collection of good quality, and it is even cheaper than another non-hardcover collection I bought in the same batch (?). But suddenly I found out that this kind of hardcover book with bare cover does not have the pleasure of appreciating the inner cover and the folded pages.

The cover printing creates a beautiful mirror + rainbow effect, and the title is hot silver but not very noticeable. The whole book is mostly black-based illustrations with many repetitive elements: hands, women, the universe (stars, moon, etc.) Print it on the page (even the front and back covers are 🤣).

There are some special layout designs in the book, such as pages with mirror effect, next to them are tri-fold pages (but the obvious fold lines spoil the illustration a bit); there are also gradient layouts, which are only discovered when you look at the side of the book! (The following figure)

What's special to me is that when I read the title of each illustration (all listed next to it), I can actually detail it.Understand the mood that the illustration wants to express, or associate with real situations. The elements of illustration are very imaginative, with various symbols.

I really like the series of illustrations of the special edition "Zoo on Earth" (below), but they are not included in the album 🥺

Official Introduction

"Night Rainbow - A Collection of Cube Amon's Personal Paintings" is a collection of personal works by the well-known illustrator Cube Amon. His works have a strong personal style and a strong sense of design. He is good at figuring abstract emotions and psychology into symbolic expressions Easy-to-understand and resonant images. Most of his works revolve around exploring the emotions and desires of modern people, using illustrations to think about themselves and interpersonal relationships.

More than 120 illustrations have been carefully selected and compiled according to 6 major themes, including the award-winning series of works in the past two years, as well as works that have been liked and forwarded thousands of times on social platforms.

The book comes with a total of 11 illustrations from the "Zoo on Earth" card set not included in the book. The collection contains 8P luxury pull pages. The pull pages use a special process to create a mirror reflection effect, which means "self-peeping", which is in line with the theme of the collection and increases the collection value. The cover is bound with laser technology to create a rainbow effect, showing the theme of the album "Night Rainbow".

"I once read this passage: Everyone has an imperfect side, and each side corresponds to a gift of life. For example, cowardice can sometimes make you avoid danger, and impulse can give you courage to move forward. Avoidance is short-lived. Self-protection, staying awake in pain can only discover the true existence of self. Incompleteness is also a part of our life, try to accept and embrace him and become a more complete life.
