Kurzbeschreibung
The fantasy art of Charles Vess is acclaimed worldwide, his rich palette, striking compositions, and lavish detail second to none. Vess created memorable works for such best selling fantasy authors as Neil Gaiman, Susanna Clarke, Charles De Lint, and George R. R. Martin, as well as a who's-who list of publishers and clients. His art is breathtakingly singular while recalling the golden age of illustration, when paint and brush were the vessels that carried readers to distant lands, bygone ages, and realms of the imagination. This title Features a foreword by Susanna Clarke, author of "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell".

I like Charles Vess' style. The scenes and images are magical, watercolours are beautiful, and there's a classic feel to his art. He's perfect for illustrating fantasy stories. By the way, he was won three Eisner Awards among others.
Drawing Down the Moon is a well constructed hardcover from Dark Horse. There are 200 pages and a couple are translucent with line art that overlays on the finished coloured piece beneath on the next page. Unfortunately, the overlay is just slightly misaligned, for my copy.
Over two hundred pieces of paintings and comic art are featured, from covers, comics, private commissions and personal pieces, along with them notes from Charle Vess. Creating enchanting backgrounds and fairytale characters is his specialty. So much so that it makes you want to find out more about the story after looking at the pictures.
He has created a whole lot of art for countless publications. The most notable ones are probably the paintings he did for Neil Gaiman's Stardust, which was made into a movie (I love that movie!). A few of the 175 pieces created for Stardust are featured here, not the concept art though. He's able to capture Neil Gaiman's imagination perfectly and make them come real.
The book finishes off with an interesting look at his creation process, how he handles a commissioned project, though there are no pictures of how he actually paints.
This is an inspiring retrospective for Charles Vess. Highly recommended to fantasy artists.

Gorgeous Art!!!
29. Dezember 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I have been a big fan of Charles Vess for over a decade and have a first edition copy of Stardust that I bought when it was first published, as well as some of his other work. So I was very excited to see this book listed and originally ordered it over 2 years ago when I first saw it on Amazon. It was definitely worth the wait. What incredibly beautiful work! I am so drawn to Charles' unique style, which never ceases to amaze me. It strikes me as an interesting blend between the old-fashioned and classic, but with a fresh twist that sets it apart from anything else. This book is a fascinating look at the progression of his work over many years, with insights into his remarkable career thus far. If you appreciate quality artwork and fantasy art in particular, then treat yourself to this wonderful book; you're bound to fall in love with it, just as I did.

Drawing Down the Moon
7. März 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is a large (9.25" x 12.25") 200 page hard back book. Every page has beautiful examples of Charles Vess' artwork, often the full size of the page. The artwork includes both his color and ink work. Vess has included some narration of his career history and insights into some of the pieces. Chapters are separated by heavy vellum pages.
