The Beast Within – The Art of Ken Barr Ken Barr. SQP, 2007. Nowadays, pretty much anyone with a computer and a working copy of Photoshop can call themselves an artist. That's very nice, but compared to one of the grand masters of fantasy art; they might as well be fiddling with an Etch-A-Sketch! Ken Barr is old school masterful, and defines what it is to create whole new worlds of wonder. His career is filled with outstanding movie and television projects, science fiction and fantasy book covers, and many iconic images from the glory days of "Marvel Comics".
Long before the emergence of such superstar painters as Alex Ross and Joe Jusko, Ken Barr was blazing a trail of acrylic glory, giving fanboys a clear picture of what their heroes would look like in the real world. For the first time ever, a massive collection of Ken's favourite pieces have been assembled for this personal showcase. If you appreciate the intense quality and power this man brings to his work, or just has a fond memory of seeing your favourite character brought to life, then this book will be a pure pleasure! 48 pages. Hard Cover Full Colour 9" x 12" (229mm x 305mm) (ISBN-13: 9780865621572)
