Bob Eggleton has won the Hugo Award for Best Artist several times, as well as the Chesley Award—and this collection of over 100 illustrations proves exactly why he is considered one of today’s most original fantasy and science fiction illustrators. All the paintings are imagined as part of a time capsule sent to aliens, and these fanciful, otherworldly visions include the covers for Daniel Hood’s The Scales of Justice and Larry Niven’s Rainbow Mars. Dynamic commentary by best-selling author Nigel Suckling.

Dinosaurs, Dragons, Monsters Oh My!!,
By ufobooks (Plano, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Greetings From Earth: The Art of Bob Eggleton (Paperback)
Yes, another incredible book by artist and author Bob Eggleton! Not only a treat for the eyes, but inspiration for all those sci-fi collectors as well. If you picked up Book Of Sea Monsters and Alien Horizons then you know you have to add to your already growing collection of Bob Eggleton art. What is in this book? Well a little bit of everything -- new landscape imagery (a new talent), robots, incredible aliens, dinosaurs, monsters, and dragons. The paintings are shown and a commentary by the artist is given, which pulls the reader into the world of Bob Eggleton. The paper and color used is incredible. Beautiful book, I can't express how delighted I am. Who will be interested? Everyone! But there are a few people who will be highly interested and really need to get this book -- art students, 3D animators, fantasy readers/collectors, Dragon collectors, robot and alien collectors, Godzilla collectors, sci-fi and fantasy readers, and children (yep, it makes their imagination go crazy). So don't be left in the dark ages, get this book now, you will be happy you did (^_^)!
