i remember first coming across the Spectrum art books in my twenties, when i would buy books simply for their dust jackets and hope the story inside wasn't too awful... the art in these books is amazing, creative, imaginary, dreamlike, fascinating, and ultimately full of life and the love of wonder and wondrous things... i would own them all if i could... extremely highly recommended...

Exploring the years of 2003 to 2004 in art through this 11th volume of Spectrum here. Michael R. Whelan is the grand Master of this year and news about the industry trying to recuperate from the past couple years is detailed here. My favorite works were done by Tony DiTerlizzi, David Bowers (Quite a few by him.), Patrick Arrasmith, Todd Lockwood, Paul Bonner, Stephen Youll, Yvonne Gilbert, John Jude Palencar, Rebecca Guay, Daniel Dos Santos, Manchu, Chalres Vess, Greg Swearingen, Brad Wienman, Scott Gustafson, Duane O. Myers, Peter de Seve (It has his "Finding Nemo" artwork!), Kinuko Y. Craft, Greg Spalenka, Tristan Elwell, William Basso (His busts always have such awesome cheekbones!), Jean Marc Laroche (The best assassin kit ever made!), Ciruelo, Marc A. Fishman, Eric Boden, Christophe Vacher, Peter Meseldzija, Ezra Tucker, Charles Frizell, Jeff Spackman, Mark A. Nelson, Steven Kenny, and of course John Howe. Please don't mind my parenthesized commentaries. I have probably named off half of the artists, but the collected work is just that freaking good. A great volume with an influx of more amazing artwork included.

If you love fantasy and SiFi art of any type; paintings, drawings, sculpture, cartoons then this is the book for you. Fantastic selection of the years art. You can't help but find something you like inside. Highly recommended

It's my own fault that I haven't flipped through this one enough!

Absolutely incredible compilation of fantasy artists! Produced yearly (every November).

EXCELLENT compilation. I was very pleased with the various works of art. Thematically, it is more balanced than the other Spectrum book I looked at. Favorite featured artist, Kinuko Y. Craft.
