James’ work is ethereal and dark and the antithesis to your standard fantasy trope. I think that is what attracts me to his art. It’s just different, a mix of supernatural and fantasy and maybe even horror. Now that is a kick-ass combination.

Let me know your thoughts and remember to check out this week’s Art of Science Fiction.

Take care!
