The guide to fantasy art was conceived to present a behind-the-scenes view of the creative processes in fantasy art . Fantasy art is imaginative art, depicting worlds which lie beyond the grey reality of our everyday lives.
"Dream makers features the pictures of six working fantasy artists who are famous in their fields. Though their styles and subject matter differ greatly, their ideas and images go beyond realism into the landscapes of dreams, nightmares and imagined futures."--BOOK JACKET.
First published in 1984, "Magnetic Storm" followed in the groundbreaking footsteps of the million-selling "Views" (1975). Once again employing a large format and lavish production to showcase the unique art and design of Roger Dean, this iconic book was a retrospective of the astonishing breadth of work accomplished since the publication of its predecessor. Through "Views" and "Magnetic Storm," Roger Dean established a devoted readership, while "Dragon's Dream" (2008) demonstrates how his visionary work has continued to illuminate an age of digital animation, computer games, and virtual worlds. Embracing designs for record sleeves, rock stages, movie projects, architecture, games consoles, landscapes, and books, "Magnetic Storm" features everything from innovative aircraft livery to the Yes logo. This new edition streamlines the original format and retains the combination of concept sketches and the finished works. Featuring revised design and typography, a new foreword, and a newly finished painting that Roger supplied especially for the front cover of this edition, "Magnetic Storm" showcases and celebrates the art that defined an era.
