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...

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.

Really nice collection of all sorts of fantasy art..from the cliche "dragon with muscle man" stuff to really really abstract images.Even has a few nice sculptures! Get it!
