The Art of Anne Stokes: Mystical, Gothic & Fantasy (Gothic Dreams)

Anne Stokes attention to detail is just astounding! Her canvases come to life because of detailed characters from fae to dragon and backgrounds that make you feel you are there with them! Anne is just down right amazing! I am always struck afresh by that fact that each stroke of her brush and their intention to render a slice of a fantasy life does render a final canvas that seems like reality just around the corner! Wonderful book!

The contents of the book is wonderful. I’m leaving a 1 star review because the whole binding of the book was broke when I received it. I’ve added pictures of both front and back binding. This was a “brand new”, I wanna know why the binding is broke!

The art world has been good to me. Life would have been unhappy without it.My 3 favorite science fiction art books are :- Wonderworks by Michael Whelan- Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson- Icon by Frank Frazetta

I honestly don't know what else to say other than this book is just ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! I love it so much!

This Is A Nice Gift To Give A Nice Couple On Their Anniversary.

It’s a beautiful art work book ... I deeply enjoy Anne Stokes creations. I bought it for me and probably buy it again for my granddaughters. A great quality pages and colors.

Beautiful artwork, and it is interesting to read the background to the art. The artist comes across as very thoughtful, strong, confident and intelligent but nonetheless humble about her work.

Absolutely love this book (huge Anne fan), it's lovely to have her pictures in one place. I have quite a few canvases and have had lots of her calendars. I have always though I should be able to draw like she does and yet I, very sadly, lack her talent. When I got to "Blood Moon" my daughter asked why I was in the book because I do look a bit like the vampire (minus the fangs and blood), it made me both laugh and feel....well....quite pleased really.

A beautiful book with some stunning artwork. I haven’t had much of a chance to sit and read this book properly but have had a quick look through. The book itself is a lovely and well made book and one I’m sure I’ll enjoy once settled into my new home. Being a fan of most things that include dragons and other’s of the like, it’s so nice to come across a book with very detailed drawings. I’m by no means a ‘ Gothic ‘ but I cannot help liking some of the Gothic fantasy world. Well worth the money as the creator of this book has really taken some time and thought about putting this beautiful book together and sharing the vision of her work. As soon as I get the chance to sit and read properly, I’m sure I won’t be disappointed.

Beautifully illustrated throughout, with sections on Anne Stokes's career and comments on individual pieces, my one criticism was that apart from the Steam Punk playing cards at the end, the Nazgul Guitarist, and Death dancing with a woman, the protagonists were females with fantastic beasts (dragons/unicorns/Pegasus). Amongst the maidens, elves, mermaids, sorceresses, vampire queens, I expected a few warriors and wizards. But then Anne Stokes is apparently known for her depiction of strong females so this is my fault not hers.

Love love love this book and her work . Arrived in good condition on time beautiful book

I love Anne Stokes work and her book is more than just a collection of pictures. It tells you of her dream, as a young girl, to become an artist and how she thinks about her art.It attracted attention on arrival, with young and old alike. It makes a great conversation piece. It is a high quality production, full gloss from cover to cover.Lets you know what she encounter when starting - Not going to spoil the fun though, I will let you enjoy the read for yourself!
