Now in its 11th year, and just getting bigger and better, this eagerly anticipated volume in the art and art-buying world represents the who's who in fantasy today. Spectrum is the first and only illustration annual to focus solely on fantastic art, with over 300 artists featured. Divided into seven categories, including one devoted to comics and graphic novels, Spectrum is a feast of disparate vision and artistic imagining, showcasing, among others: John Howe, fantasy illustrator and designer for Lord of the Rings; Peter deSeve, conceptual artist on Finding Nemo; Anita Kunz's work from Rolling Stone; the exquisite acrylics of Michael Whelan; the poignant work of John Jude Palancer; Doug Chiang, design director for Star Wars and creator of Robota; and Jon Foster, also of Star Wars fame. Lively, idiosyncratic, and sometimes shocking, this work continues to push against the meniscus of reality, exploring new realms of inventiveness and creativity, be it from movies, video games, ads, or art galleries.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Feast for the eyes.,
By Hesper23 "Grad student" (Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spectrum 11: The Eleventh Annual Collection of the Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art (Hardcover)
A handful of experienced judges annually judge thousands of submissions. The best of the crop, of the fantasy, horror, sci-fi, and just plain weird, genres is published in a coffe-sized table artbook, Spectrum . Volume 11 is perhaps the best yet. They've increased the size fo the book both in the number of pages and physical dimensions. Also, the featured artworks seem to be more diverse and international this year.
One of the pleasures of flipping through Spectrum is seeing what you recognize, "oh, there's the cover that John Jude Palencar did for Lynn Flewelling's novels, and Jaqueline Carey too."
