Transluminal: The Paintings of Jim Burns

One of the world’s foremost practitioners of science fiction art, Jim Burns has created evocative and dramatic book covers for over 25 years. His interpretations of these novels and stories have delighted authors, who include Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke, and fans alike. Jim’s paintings reveal his idiosyncratic obsessions and fantasy visions – futuristic machines, and part-human and alien denizens of alternative worlds. <i>Transluminal</i> is a welcome new collection of his work, accompanied by Jim’s witty and informative text, which explains the concepts behind the paintings. There are also reminiscences and anecdotes from nine writers including Jack McDevitt, David Brin and Greg Bear.
