Customer Reviews

One Of The Best!!

One of the best annuals out there! If you like just GREAT fantasy art, Spectrum can't be beat! Also if you like the fantasy sculpture, spectrum 6 has one of the best selections of any of the other Spectrums. If your serious about fantasy art this is a must!

Toys, Wrestling, & Photography

As a photographer I was excited to obtain this book. Here in Atlanta Wrestling has become the males soap opera. This in turn has led to an increase in Action Figures. I have always longed to intergrate bodybuilders and fitness women into my erotic imagery. This book gives me the necessary compliation to allow my mind to investigate how to mimic fantasy art. I like the fact that my fears as a child were awakened as well as my sexual stimuli touched.Finally, I like the fact that one of the editors is a female. It is time that women who appreciate art and for me erotic photography began to play a vital role in persenting these images. Yes I am familiar with Olivia. Can some one provide me with ISBN's on the previous issues?

great inspiration

If you're a fan of sci-fi art work, this book is for you, spectrum 6 has some of the biggest names in this genre of illustration as well has some lesser known illustrators. The problem with spectrum 6 (as with all the other spectrum books) is that the popularity of the artist often counts more than the piece itself.

Another Winner!

This sixth addition to the "Spectrum" series certainly lives up to its subtitle of "The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art". There is a beautiful cross-section of work by old favorites and new talent alike. Shaun Tann, Phil Hale, Donato Giancola, and Gary Gianni are just a few of the stand-outs in this wonderful collection. You like Whelan? He's here. "Dinotopia" creator Jim Gurney? Him, too. Comics? They're covered. Statues and model kits? They're here as well. If your budget will allow only one fantasy art book, "Spectrum 6" is certainly the best choice.
