The increasing popularity of fantasy and science fiction themes in art is both celebrated and summarised in the sumptuous Spectrum series, which in eight years has become the premier venue for such art and an invaluable resource for art directors and illustrators. Spectrum 8 has a wider reach than any previous volume, featuring works from Germany, the Netherlands, Croatia, Canada, and France, in addition to those of American artists.

Such great work...,
By SlowX "Yeah." (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spectrum 8: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art (Paperback)
There's a lot of imagination and talent in this book, and with such a varity of styles it's sure to appeal to a wide range of tastes. Personally, I enjoy the edgier, more contemporary material, but there is also plenty of more traditional "faries and unicorn"-type stuff as well. I especially like seeing some comic book covers being treated as the art they are, w/o the title covering up a good chumk of the work.All in all, a GREAT collection! May it inspire you to write, drwa or create something outstanding of your own...

Inspirational,
This review is from: Spectrum 8: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art (Paperback)
Like all of the "Spectrum," books, this one delivers. Displaying some of the world's best fantasy and sci-fi art in every medium, from simple black ink to hand-painted sculpture, every image is beautifully reproduced in a book of excellent quality. If you are a collector of art, an artist who occasionally needs a little help to get inspired, or a serious fan-boi, this book is a must-have for your library.
