I recently started collecting "Art Of" books... with the exception "Return of the Jedi" (which is out of print) I have drooled all over the conceptual drawings in the Star Wars universe. The Final Fantasy book was equally amazing because it lets you see the conceptual development of the art. The latest one I am drooling over is "The Matrix", which has the entire shooting script and pretty much all the storyboards used in the film. Perhaps fine digital art prints as posters is not the only way to go? Wall space for an art print is a pretty static location, while most of us are moving all the time. Some of us are transients even who have to move eventually. The magazine is an excellent example of the portability of Renderosity art. Why not do a coffee table sized art book? What are the mechanics involved here? How do individual artist's get their share from every sale of the book? Royalties? How do we select artists that go into these pages? Who selects what? I have no idea how to sort this out. Let's talk about it. In the same way that medieval artisans would form guilds for the greater good of the whole craft, could we not look into a modest compilation of digital art prints entitled, "The Art of Renderosity - Volume 1: The Pin-ups"? Or even "Volume 2: Nekkid Chicks with Guns-n-Swords", or "Volume 3: Concept Cars", "Volume 4: Vampyr... or "Volume 4,239: Nekkid Vampiric Pin-up Chicks in Concept Cars with Guns-n-Swords"... the list boggles the mind. Maybe I should get some sleep and keep my trap shut. :o) - M
