Customer Reviews

Wonderful artwork from book covers, CD's & commisions

This is great sampling of Rodney Matthews fantasy art. It features mostly color artwork but does have some black and white drawings. There is commentary on about half the images.It features his artwork from all areas including book covers, CD's, movies/TV, prints and commissions. Most of the work is fantasy based. Themes include alien landscapes, space, and mythological creatures.One of my favorite pieces is "The New Jerusalem," a beautiful fantasy landscape painted with a rainbow of soft colors. Another I really like features a castle in the ocean with dolphin-like creatures in the front.I found his CD covers featuring numerous exotic creatures fascinating. Finally, I loved his six full-page images featuring many whimsical creatures from several "Alice in Wonderland" books.

This book impressed me by its beauty and creativity!

As a fantasy art lover, I simply loved this book by the extreme beauty of its illustrations and the enormous dose of imagination Rodney put into it. Rodney is a magnific illustrator I admire with all my heart!
