by Andreas Raufelsen
Category: Comics & Graphic Novels

Art Fantastix is a series of illustrated books dedicated to Pin-Up and Fantasy Art from around the globe. From household names like Clyde Caldwell (TSR) and John Bolton (Batman) to exciting newcomers like Dorian Cleavenger and Michael Mobius. Every book concentrates on the work of one artist and shows uninterrupted full colour images including many full and double page spreads. Quality printing on heavy paper with a complete index including model references where known, they waste little time on anything but the results. Andreas Raufeisen -- vintage 1960 -- plays drums in two rock bands, is father of two and a sought after handyman and, happily for us, a "freelance hobby artist" (his words). Often compared to the great Hajime Sorayama because of content and style he is a self-taught airbrush practitioner for whom it has "...never entered my mind to make profit from my hobby". Includes a 4 page step-by-step description by the artist of how he realises a 'portrait'.
