James Rizzi whose work was always a celebration of life, died at age 61 in New York City.
A prolific designer - in 1980 he designed the Tom Tom Club's first album cover - a side project of Talking Heads' Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz.
Moving between the worlds of architecture and graphics, Rizzi also designed the Happy Rizzi House - an office building in Germany, the front page of a newspaper in Hamburg and three versions of the New Beetle for Volkswagen in 1999.
In 1996, he became the first official artist for the Summer Olympics in Atlanta and - a year later - the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. In 1998, he was selected to produce official posters for the Fifa World Cup in France.

Artist and writer David Mack created Kabuki a comic book series that tells a story of a female assassin who struggles with her identity in near-future Japan.
Inside is a collection of David Mack's sketches, paintings, sculptures and photos. Some of them are on the Kabuki comic series, some are on Daredevil and works for other comics and some are sketches from life. This is true artist's sketchbook. ( The cover is actually black.)
Devon brought this book to NDG and I am saving my pennies to purchase it. For any aspiring drawing student or art lover of any kind it opens up the world of the artist's process. It gives you a glimpse of what was in his head and how it evolved to finished work.
His watercolor technique is beautiful and is used to produce some amazing portraits.
You will enjoy each and every page for the beautiful art and a second time to study his drawing and painting techniques and his creative thinking.
