Ekphrastic Beasts
Ekphrastic Beasts
Ekphrastic writing is the vivid, often dramatic description of visual art. This project is a full-color fantasy art book, featuring spectacular artwork from 6 of today's most exciting weird illustrators, that also functions as an artist-created compendium of creatures for the 5th edition of the world's most popular role-playing game. After raising over $60,000 on Kickstarter, the book is now available for purchase outside of its fundraising campaign.
