Ever since Bram Stoker's perennial best-seller Dracula, vampires have been one of the key inspirations to film-makers & authors alike. The latest installment in the Twilight series was a major hit & modern takes on the classic themes of blood, immortality, fear & desire are never far from the best-seller lists. Yet vampires are a source of rich inspiration to visual artists as well, & this collection reveals their work in all its gruesome glory. From the elegant beauties of Jasmine Becket-Griffith to the decaying savages of Anne Stokes, from the more whimsical caricatures of Delphine Levesqe Demers to Jo Chen's renditions of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Vampire Art Now showcases the varying representations of this legendary figure. The book illustrates the vampire in his or her many moods: either wooing lovers with a hypnotic stare, biting long necks (willing & unwilling), or staring straight at the viewer as if ready to bound off the page in a nocturnal frenzy. By presenting multiple artists' takes on what it means to be a vampire, this collection illustrates how one cultural icon can vary so greatly across different cultures, classes, media, & artistic aesthetics. No other supernatural creature has captured our collective imagination quite like the vampire & Vampire Art Now is the perfect compendium to pay homage to that tradition. After perusing these pages, these illustrations are sure to haunt readers' nightmares & tantalize their fantasies, as they have for generations. ...
