After a few final tweaks, The Fantastical Art of Jim Pitts is now
at the proofing stage. Within the next week we expect to have a proof
copy of this book in our hands, prior to publication. At 214 pages, 8.5 x
11 inches in size, this hardcover book contains hundreds of black and
white and full-colour illustrations covering all the years since 1972
when Jim's art first appeared in fanzines like Shadow and Balthus right up to the present day, with illustrations for Brian Lumley's Earth, Air, Fire & Water, Four Tales of Elemental Mythos Horror! published by Fedogan & Bremer.
As well as illustrations, the book also contains articles by Brian
Lumley, Ramsey Campbell, David A. Sutton, Peter Coleborn, Jon M. Harvey,
Nick Caffrey, Stephen Jones and David A. Riley.
Published as a limited, numbered edition of 250, each copy will be signed by Jim Pitts.
Although the book will be launched at Fantasycon in Peterborough on
October 1st, we will be posting details of how you can order this book
before then. Any pre-orders will entitle the purchaser to four
high-quality, personally signed prints by Jim Pitts. The price of the
book for pre-orders and at Fantasycon will be £35, rising to £40
afterwards.
