Outstanding, December 13, 2008

Paul Bonner's work is incredibly textural, well-rendered, dynamic, and diversely fantastical. The plethora of beautiful, full-color images would please even the pickiest buyer. Mr. Bonner displays a grounded technical understanding of anatomy and movement, then pairs that with mythology, some grotesquerie, and implied narratives. I literally cannot imagine who would be disappointed by this book.
Amazing characters that reminded me of my Role Playing days, September 12, 2008

Paul Bonner is an incredible fantasy artist and displays a great expertise in creating gnarly, muscular monsters with savage looking faces, adorned with rows of vicious teeth or pokey fangs. Many of these images reminded me of miniatures and artwork for role playing games that I played a great deal as a kid. The images in this book are absolutely stunning and will have fans of mythological monsters, goblins and other fearsome creatures grinning from ear-to-ear on every page.

This is one of those special books, an inspiration and I think Paul Bonner has claimed his place next to Frazetta.
True depth and beauty of our imagination in each painting. It has beautiful full page prints and it takes you through his works.
A must for all art and fantasy lovers
Wonderful work, April 28, 2008

MacDAmazing artwork, possibly the best artist working in the RPG market. Having seen his work in some Rackham productions, I was pleasantly surpised by his older work for Games Workshop, FASA and other companies.
Gorgeous Art book well worth the money!, April 14, 2008

H. L. MarcusAs a long time fan of fantasy artists I was struck by the detailed art of Mr. Bonner. I was aware of his work from Warhammer and other gaming lines but this is a excellent showpiece of his ability to bring both whimsy and talent to a crowded genre.
