Críticas:

Years of drawing and painting them have led me no nearer to truly defining dragons. Somewhere in their diversity resides an archetype that escapes me yet. Nor can I impose upon them a recognizable style of dragon, something that the enviable likes of Ciruelo, Michael Whelan or Wayne Anderson so excel at. I leaf through books of dragons painted by Rackham, Vasnetzov, Doré, Blake or Von Stuck. I have a few dozen serious non-fiction books on dragon myth, all avidly read and dog-eared, so I must be closing in. The trail is clear, but they remain elusive. Somewhere, some day, in a painting or a drawing, I know I have a rendez-vous with the Dragon. --Extract form the foreword of Dragon Art written by John Howe, October 2008

Reseña del editor:

Dragon Art is a stunning survey of amazing contemporary fantasy artwork, specifically of dragons - that most popular of fantasy creatures. The inspirational foreword is by fantasy legend and Lord of the Rings film concept artist John Howe. The 'Masters of Dragon Art' section includes such favourites as Don Maitz and Bob Eggleton. A fascinating discussion of dragons and fantasy art runs throughout the book, alongside a large selection of the best work out there at the moment, which is interspersed with features presenting artists' works-in-progress, providing invaluable insight on technique. Dragon Art is an inspiration and a feast for the eyes.
