The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of DINOSAUR
ART: THE WORLD'S GREATEST PALEOART from Titan Books. The book is edited by Steve
White, with a forward by Philip J. Currie and an introduction by Scott D.
Sampson.
DINOSAUR ART features ten of the top contemporary
paleoartists as they show some of their work and discuss their style. A
paleoartist is “an illustrator who specializes in the science and art of
reconstructing ancient animals and their world.” The paleoartists featured in
this book include: Mauricio Anton, John Conway, Julius Csotonyi, Douglas
Henderson, Todd Marshall, Raul Martin, Robert Nicholls, Gregory S Paul, Luis
Rey, and John Sibbick.
This is a fascinating book and all pieces are extremely
beautiful. The paleoartists’ art methods range from pencils and inks to digital paintings and everything in between.
Each section focuses on one paleoartist where you find out how he got into the
field; their inspirations; and work methods. If you are interested in
dinosaurs, a fan of beautiful art, or both - you should check this book out.
DINOSAUR ART: THE WORLD'S GREATEST PALEOART will be available
in bookstores September 4 and online at http://titanbooks.com/.
