2/18/2010 - Fantasy Art Now volume 2

'Fantasy Art Now volume 2' came out late 2009 from Ilex Press in Britain, and was edited by Aly Fell and Duddlebug. The book is a showcase of many contemporary fantasy artists, and is a really beautiful collection: Hardbound, lots of beautifully-reproduced full-bleed pictures in all sorts of styles. The collection features a few pieces of my art, so I thought I'd share them here:

Fantasy Art Now v2 cover(That's the cover. I didn't draw it, it's so you know what to look for in stores.)

Troll Crossing

Sesslyth and Ezekiel
And the big double-page spread (!):
Wandering Monsters

2/22/2010 - where to find the book

Posted by walrus
It's out now, and available anywhere that might carry a British publisher like Ilex. you could also ask your local book store to order it and they will. (Support your local non-chain book dealer!) Alternately, you can get it on amazon.com:
http://www.amazon.com/Fantasy-Art-Now-v-2/dp/1905814526/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1266888094&sr=1-3

It really is a nice volume, not just because of my pieces! :)

Turns out that this book has a different title, cover, and publisher here in the states. It's now called "The Future of Fantasy Art" (from Collins).

You can find it on Amazon.com here:
