Dinosaur Art: The World's Greatest Paleoart

Description

A paleoartist is an illustrator who specialises in the science and art of reconstructing ancient animals and their world. In "Dinosaur Art," ten of the top contemporary paleoartists reveal a selection of their work and exclusively discuss their working methods and distinct styles. Filled with breathtaking artwork - some never before seen - and cutting edge paleontology, this is a treasure trove for dinosaur enthusiasts, art lovers and budding illustrators.

White has edited, written and illustrated comics, magazines and books for a quarter of a century. He has drawn dinosaurs since he was four, for fun and professionally, and has been called "the John Milius of paleoart" (by fellow paleoartist Dan Varner). He is currently a senior editor for Titan magazines.
