In Danger: Threatened & Endangered Animals

by Expedition Art Inc. (Editor), Manny Carrasco (Illustrator), Jason Chan (illustrator)

The In Danger project is a high-end art book being produced by Expedition Art in collaboration with some of the most well-known concept artists, designers and fine artists in the world. We are currently working with 51 different artists from 8 countries, as they create imagery of 97 unique animals. Each animal portrayed in the book has a detailed description, interesting facts about the creature as well as insightful thoughts from the artist. Each project Expedition Art produces donates to a partner non-profit organization that directly affects wildlife and nature conservation.

The goal is to educate and raise awareness through art.

[Kate · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an extensive book that details these disappearing creatures about their habitats, behaviors, and threats to their survival. I hope many of these animals make a comeback as their beauty shines with the artist's giving them these highlights. A few really drew my attention, particularly the wild cats, as I love felines and their forms. The playfulness of JAW Cooper's ocelot, the elusiveness of the Bengal tiger or Florida Panther both by Aaron Blaise, and even the boopable cuteness of Bobby Chiu's South China Tiger cub. As well with the non-felines, the details and warmth found in Esther van Hulsen's Gray wolf, Jason Chan's whale shark with its beautiful colors and fluid motion to it, or the light placement and gaze of Luis Carrasco's spotted owl are all wondrous. Those owl eyes stare a hole into your very soul. Overall, it's a beautiful and educational book.


*Small typo to publishers: Thierry Doizon has Great White Shark art on page "81" not "91". That "91" is Naomi Baker's work (unless it was an intended collaboration by them).
