Larry Elmore Goes Crowdfunded

[marina-bonomi.livejournal.com]

If you are into roleplaying or fantasy art it's very likely you have at least heard of Larry Elmore, he is the one who did the famous D&D red box and set the tone for D&D art for years.
He is also a very personable and approachable guy, bot T. and I were stunned by his friendliness and down-to-earth attitude a few years ago when we met him at GenCon.

The news is that he is planning to do a full-color art book including most of his pieces, and is crowdfunding it through Kickstarter.
(it's already a few times above the set sum), it's good to see more and more established creatives taking the crowdfunded route.

I've been following this, and I'm thrilled by the success so far.

I have an Elmore original (one of his trademark dragons) that he did using a black marker pen on white poster board at Gencon UK in 1998. My now hubby bought it for me for £300 GBP in the charity auction. I really should get round to photographing it and making it into a userpic.

ETA: Oops no - it is a Jeff Easley.
