An essential, inspiring collection of quotations about creativity,
social justice, and more from musician, producer, artist, and
designer Pharrell Williams Rising to global fame with his hit
single “Happy,” Pharrell Williams has influenced every corner
of music, from cowriting and producing the monumental track
“Alright” with Kendrick Lamar to composing music for the
Academy Award–winning film Hidden Figures. But his work also
extends to fashion, design, and the visual arts, and he has
collaborated with leading artists and designers, including Takashi
Murakami, Daniel Arsham, and Comme des Garçons. Gathered from
interviews and other sources, this compelling and provocative
collection of quotations offers new insights into the personality
and creative process of one of today’s most exciting and
intriguing artists. Select quotations from the book: Self-awareness
is a muscle that needs exercise. It needs a regimen. You’ve got
to continue to reinvent yourself today, all the while thinking
about tomorrow. Music is the key, the skeleton key that’s opened
every door for me. There is no humanity without education. There is
no education without demand. The only way to make life better for
yourself, the only true and lasting way, is to make life better for
others.

Straddling the worlds of fine art, street art and hip-hop,
name-dropped on many a rap song, and collected by the likes of
Jay-Z and LeBron James, Hebru is a painter, sculptor and designer.
He first gained attention as a graffiti artist, tagging walls with
colourful depictions of Flyboy a child donning aviator goggles all
over the Windy City. Fast-forward to 2021 and his creations,
profoundly influenced by Disney and Japanese Super-Flat, are now in
museums, as well as in branded goods for A Bathing Ape, Billionaire
Boys Club, Adidas Originals, KITH, Neighborhood and a host of other
sought-after labels. At the heart of Hebru s work is restoring
innocence to the depiction of black youth, often forced into
adulthood before their time in the eyes of the law and popular
media. Upbeat and life-affirming, Brantley s work not only attempts
to normalize images of black children at play, but in his creation
of black superheroes, even suggests an entirely new mythology in a
cultural landscape often devoid of positive examples. This book
will feature the breadth of Hebru s work so far, and is the first
monograph on his work. Set out in two parts, this work will examine
both the fine art and applied art nature of his work, with both his
paintings and his streetwear collaborations receiving pride of
place in the design of the book by prominent graphic designer
Oliver Munday, currently the art director of The Atlantic Monthly.
Redefining cool for a new generation, Pharrell Williams is a
creative force, using music, fashion, and design to express his
distinctive style. Originating at the crossroads of art, design,
popular culture, and street savvy, Pharrell Williams's output is
unique. By playing off different disciplines--namely music,
fashion, street art, and design--and using each as an element in
the other, Pharrell has redefined the role of the contemporary
recording artist, blazing a trail for other musicians and prominent
cultural figures. Illustrated with lavish photography, this book
also explores his musical career in depth, charting his many
projects from his production team The Neptunes, to the band
N.E.R.D., and his collaborations with friends Kanye West, Jay-Z,
Snoop Dogg, and other hip-hop royalty. This unprecedented volume
documents Pharrell's prolific body of work and his contribution to
contemporary culture. In his own unique graphic language, he
details his extensive creative pursuits, including clothing lines,
jewelry, and accessories designs for Louis Vuitton, furniture and
other product design, limited-edition toys, graphic designs, skate
graphics, and collaborations with Moncler, Marc Jacobs, the artist
KAWS, and with architects Zaha Hadid and Masamichi
Katayama/Wonderwall.
The book includes ontributions from Buzz Aldrin, Toby Feltwell,
Zaha Hadid, Shae Haley, Chad Hugo, Jay-Z, Masamichi Katayama, Ambra
Medda, Takashi Murakami, NIGO (R), Loic Villepontoux, Kanye West,
Anna Wintour, Hans Zimmer, Ian Luna and Lauren A. Gould.
This book was originally published with three different colored
covers and a year later, reprinted with a new set of three colors.

Following Rizzoli's best-selling Pharrell: Places and Spaces I've
Been, this volume documents the continuing adventures in art and
design of one of the most influential figures in contemporary music
and popular culture. Lavishly illustrated with 250 photographs and
illustrations, this book features Pharrell Williams's prolific and
ever-expanding body of work in a graphic language all his own.
Straddling art, design, and hip-hop, Pharrell's creative output is
without peer or precedent. By playing off different
disciplines-music, fashion, and contemporary art-Pharrell has
redefined the role of the contemporary artist, blazing a trail for
other musicians and cultural figures. Expanding on themes covered
in Places and Spaces I've Been, this book gathers a new group of
collaborators. Engaging Pharrell in conversation, talents as
diverse as Karl Lagerfeld and Takashi Murakami position Pharrell's
work within contemporary visual and material culture. The worldwide
success of the song "Happy" to his soundtrack and production credit
for the Oscar-nominated film Hidden Figures bookend a volume
devoted to Pharrell's mastery of artistic collaboration. Featuring
work with artists as diverse as JR, Alex Katz, Mr., and Daniel
Arsham, the book highlights recent projects and designs for Chanel,
Moncler, Moynat, and Adidas. But at the heart is the visual
language that Pharrell has built around his Ice Cream/Billionaire
Boys Club clothing line, which integrates streetwear into the
design of apparel, accessories, limited-edition toys, and skate
graphics. This alone makes the book a must-have collectible.
