The Art of Jim Burns: Hyperluminal

If there’s a mention of Ridley Scott’s iconic film “Bladerunner” anywhere, I’m usually there in a heartbeat. The early concept art and ideas of Bladerunner began with this man – Jim Burns. The British award winning artist has the distinction of winning 3 Hugo awards and creating science fiction book covers for authors like George RR Martin, Peter F Hamilton and Anne McCaffrey.

Titan Books’ The Art of Jim Burns: Hyperluminal collects Jim’s 40-plus years of sci-fi artwork and his own commentary of the various pieces he has done. More than just sexy babes and dragons, Jim has created his very own hyper-photo realistic works with a late 1960s-1970s flair. Over the years, Jim has created many aliens, planets, spaceships and fantasy worlds.

Sci-Fi and Fantasy artist looking for the next big thing to draw or paint, look no further than The Art of Jim Burns. This beautifully bound hard-cover artbook makes a great sci-fi reference on the shelves, but hopefully inspiration too.
