Journeyman: The Art of Chris Moore

FROM THE PUBLISHER

In the field of hi-tech sci-fi art, Chris Moore is without peer. His paintings have graced novels by such prestigious authors as Isaac Asimov (Nightfall), Philip K. Dick (We Can Remember it for You Wholesale--filmed as Total Recall), Arthur C. Clarke (Childhood's End and The Sentinel), Ben Bova (Kinsman and Millennium), Kim Stanley Robinson (Pacific Edge), and Orson Scott Card (Ender's Game--to mention only a few! He has also had numerous commissions for poster, game cards, and advertising work. For the first time, an entire book is devoted solely to his art, with illuminating text by author Steven Gallagher, himself a renowned, best-selling writer of thrillers. Along with the general introduction, there are three delightfully digressive chapters sprinkled with anecdotes about his life and work--the first heavily biographical, the second concentrating on the preparation process, and the third on execution.
