| Synopsis: |
For 13 years the Spectrum annual has been the preeminent showcase for fantasy and sci-fi art and an invaluable resource for art directors and illustrators. Drawn from work created for books, comics, magazines, art galleries, advertisements, and the portfolios of some of the finest fantasy artists working today, the illustrations in this collection extend the boundaries of the imagination and explore new realms of creativity. Spectrum 13 has a wider reach than any previous volume, with nearly 350 pieces by creators spanning the globe, including works from Germany, England, the Netherlands, Korea, Australia, Japan, Canada, and France. Eagerly awaited by both artists and readers, Spectrum 13 is divided into seven categories: Comics and Graphic Novels, Advertising, Book, Dimensional, Editorial, Institutional, and Unpublished Art. This edition also honors Jeffrey Jones with its prestigious Grand Master Award, presented to a living artist for career excellence. |
