Eagerly awaited: The Art of Charles Vess
Artist Charles Vess writes to say:
My 200 page, hardcover art book, Drawing down the Moon: The Art of Charles Vess will be arriving in stores this December from Dark Horse Books. Chris Warner & Co. have done a lovely job of assembling this retrospective of my 35 + years working as an illustrator/comics artist.
…The book has been solicited and re solicited several times but this time its for real. I have in hand a complete set of proofs and, if I do say so myself, it looks beautiful!
The book is listed in latest Diamond Previews (August) on page #36(Item # Aug09 0029).
Vess has some preview images at his blog and, suffice to say, this is one “art of” book that is richly, richly deserved. Order your copy now.

I hope he’s not reading this…

[…] Bonus Link! When I think of Gaiman, I always think of Charles Vess, whose gorgeous illustrations I was first introduced to in the Shakespeare chapters of Sandman. He’s one of the few creators who I started paying my annual fanboy pilgrimages to at Comicon each year, and I’ve always said that “when I’m rich” I’m gonna buy some original art. The guy is amazing. Anyway, he’s got a new art book coming out this fall. Heidi at The Beat has the scoop. Pass it along! […]

Oh, I wasn’t aware of this previously, but am now on my way to pre-order one.
Thanks.
