#Art of Fantasy 87: Team Couscous

A New Tower of Books

This is my new Tower of Books for the next month or so. I'm getting slow and soft. I had a similar heap previously for two months and only read two books. This time I'm doing much better.

#Art of Fantasy 84: Henrik Rosenborg

His fantasy art reminds me of Paul Kidby's  covers for the Pratchett books but with a darker much more detailed approach. I also see a lot of Paul … Continue reading #Art of Fantasy 84: Henrik Rosenborg
