Geek-Art: Une Anthologie, Art, Design, Illustrations & Sabres-Laser

Geek-Art #1

by Thomas Olivri

Every age has its artistic inspiration. Medieval artists exalted spiritual subjects. Modernists shifted their attention to humanity and the senses. For a generation of artists and fans today, our heroic subjects are Mario, Pikachu, Spider-Man, Darth Vader, Frodo, and a legion of other iconic figures from the geek culture realms of movies, cartoons, video games, and comics. For the first time, Geek-Art collects the work of nearly 100 international illustrators, graphic designers, photographers, and artists whose inspired interpretations of these beloved characters celebrate them with creative brilliance and a true fan's passion. Featuring more than 750 images, this lavish illustrated anthology showcases the inspired energy that drives pop culture and makes geeky fans of us all.

Great collection of artists that aren't just producing fan art, but are also doing something new and interesting with existing characters, worlds, and properties in pop culture. I do wish the brief snippets of text on each artist had been a little more in-depth.

Great anthology!

Could use the addition of some geek-art mosiacs made of Rubik's Cubes.

My favorite is Hillary White's version of Altarpiece of John the Evangelist entitled "Darthpocalypse": http://hillarywhiterabbit.deviantart....
