Bibliophile has had a bestseller with another title in this series The Art of John Howe and here we enter another enchanting world of flying fish, walking trees, floating cities and mechanical warriors. These are among the creatures and worlds of Ian Miller's unconventional imagination. This volume celebrates the staggering craft of this artist whose productions for books, games, films conjure visceral hallucinations and living nightmares. We have marvelled previously at his wizards, dwarves and orcs in David Day's A Tolkien Bestiary and his artworks have graced many book covers by H. P. Lovecraft, Philip K. Dick and Ray Bradbury's scifi masterwork The Martian Chronicles. Featuring over 300 pieces of artwork spanning decades of Miller's work, here are zodiac signs, nursery night time images from 1969, drawings from the animated feature film Wizards drawing on the strength of a Gormenghast castle he had drawn for a fantasy calendar, M. C. Escher-style almost 3D pathways up to teetering cliffside castles deep in crusty woods, green giants hovering beneath the earth, eyes blazing, serpents and lizards slithering, icy waters, and a superb geometric design, again Escher-style for his chess players on page 52, knights in battle with a crooked castle in the distance. A Titan Book first edition, March 2014, we are thrilled to have. 300 colour, b/w and pen and ink artworks, 9½" x 12½", 160 glossy pages.
