Hi guys, posted in this thread previously as one of the anonymous... Got my book today, got here (I'm in US) in 5 days, and man oh man... I just can't even think of where to start. Worth every single penny I paid for it... What really surprises me is not so much his fantasy, but his sincerity and skills, skills and skills.
I'm an art director, been collecting artbooks as a hobby for many years now. Have well over a hundred. This one is in the top three, no kidding. His only peer would probably be Katsuya Terada, albeit with a darker and more Moebius-esque fantasy. My only complaint with the book is that it's too heavy)
