SynopsisJon Foster creates irresistibly dark demimondes populated by retro robots, "Star Wars" villains, and creepy goth-inspired creatures that recall the work of James Gurney ("Dynotopia"), H. R. Giger, and past masters of the grotesque like Goya. Yet his work is inimitably his own, from the noirish lighting, off-kilter angles, and kinetic sense of movement to his singular technique of starting a project with oils and then scanning it into a computer to add more startling visual effects. This collection samples a wide range of Foster's work, reprinting paperback art for novels by Michael Moorcock, Paul Collins, and Liz Williams, along with a selection of his work for Wizards of the Coast's "Magic: The Gathering" game cards, DC Comics covers (including Neil Gaiman's "Books of Magic"), and his unusual images for "National Geographic." Some of his most striking work as conceptual artist for a forthcoming animated film based on "The Diary of Anne Frank" is included., The best of Jon Foster's science fiction and fantasy book cover illustrations for Michael Moorcock, Paul Collins, Liz Williams, and others, are included in this volume., A collection of sixteen stories including the Plague of Peacocks, Aunt Bea's Day Out, the Fat Wizard, No One, and Everard's Ride., Jon Foster creates irresistibly dark demimondes populated by retro robots, Star Wars villains, and creepy goth-inspired creatures that recall the work of James Gurney ( Dynotopia ), H.

I’m really happy to have been able to get this book. It came in pretty good condition. I was able to show this to Jon himself and he gave us interesting facts about his pieces shown in the book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
