Title: Fantasy Art Now
General Editor: Martin McKenna
Forward by Borris Vallejo
Published 2007 by Collins Design
Rated R: containes nudity (both male and female), violence, disturbing images
This is one of my favorite books. Fantasy Art Now has superb examples of contemporary fantasy art. The images are large and fill the page with vibrant color and eye-popping detail.
The focus of this book is to showcase contemporary talent both well known and little known. Each piece of art chosen for this book is an example of the best of what's out there today. It includes such artists as J.P. Targete, Jason Engle, Anne Stokes, Yvonne Gilbert, Stephanie Pui-Mun Law, and Benita Winckler, all of which you can find on this website on the menu to the left. Each picture has the artist's name, website, and a breif description by the artist of the art shown. The book has a lovely jacket with art on the front, back, and sleeves. The book is organized by subject matter with a wonderful forward by Boris Vallejo.
Every fantasy art fan should own this book. Leave this one out for friends and guest to see when they come over.
I give it a 5 out of 5.
Best: quality, large format, variety
Worst: If there had been only one entry per artist, there would have been room for more artists to be included.

AuthorHi, my name is Amy. I've been reading fantasy fiction since I was a child. I fell in love with fairytales, myths, legends, stories in fantastic realms, and urban tales of werewolves, vampires and other creatures. Archives
