I discovered the coolest books at my local library yesterday. They are part of a series of books called Spectrum. These oversize books are filled with nothing but the best in contemporary fantasy art.
For a guy who grew up on comic books, Creepy, Eerie, Vampirella, and Heavy Metal magazines, these books are a sumptuous visual treat. I scanned some of my favorites out of the books and here's some of my favorites of those favorites.
I love this vision of the future.
This one knocked me out it was so good.
I love how every ethnicity is represented in the art in this series of books.
Communist monkey for the win!I saw that Spectrum 16 is out. Perhaps my local library will add that one to their fine collection as well, hint hint.

I buy these every year after discovering them a decade ago. The high quality glossy paper and photography are terrific. I am so jealous of artistic talent like that. I would totally trade my soul for that ability.
Beautiful stuff! I will have to go and pick one up! :)
