Product Description

The increasing popularity of fantasy and science fiction themes in art is celebrated in the annual "Spectrum" series. The premier venue for such art, each lavishly illustrated volume is an invaluable resource, eagerly awaited by art directors, illustrators, and readers alike. Drawn from books, comics, magazines, art galleries, advertisements, and portfolios, the collection represents a who's who in fantasy today. With a wider reach than any previous edition, "Spectrum 12" features 350 works by artists from Germany, England, the Netherlands, Korea, Australia, Japan, Canada, France, and the United States. Divided into seven categories, including one each devoted to comics and graphic novels, the illustrations expand the boundaries of the imagination and explore new realms of creativity. Among the artists included are Justin K. Sweet, Brad Holland, Greg Ruth, Lawrence Northey, Arthur Suydam, and H.R. Giger. A handy index provides contact information for each artist.

Book review
This is a lovely book, full of images that set your imagination running. As with all the Spectrum books there is little in the way of information about the artist's inspiration and working process, but the book is good value none the less
