Very Rare Deluxe Slipcased Hardcover
Visions of Never
with 16-page Bonus Folio
The artists featured in VISIONS OF NEVER are among the most talented to work in the field in the past 40 years — the "artist's artists." The included works consist of both illustration and personal paintings, covering every facet of the science fiction/fantasy genre. The vast majority have never been collected in book form, and many have never before been published.
Accompanying the images are essays on each artist, comprised as much as possible from the artists' own words, or those of close associates. These essays provide a feel for the artist as a person, just as the images provide a feel for their artistic vision. Artists include Paul Lehr, Don Ivan Punchatz, Richard Bober, Rohb Ruppel, Marc Fishman, Mark Zug.
