06/12/2004: Calling Centaur-al Casting
Following the success of their initial collection of mermaids, Ric & his wife Laura return with their latest collection, featuring one of Ric's favorite characters Safire and a large supporting cast of centaurs.
As with his mermaid collection, Ric's characters have a wonderful life of their own and each has their own distinct personality. Hoofing it also showcases some of his earlier works that were perchased by lucky bidders or commissioned by private collectors (and now can be shared publically. At least until we open our own galleries)
Alas, Kids Next Door, the book does carry a Mature Audiences label, as in the spirit of Piers Anthony's Xanth, centaur fillies are known to go bare breasted when they think no young humans are around. (Well there had to be some advantages to playing for the Grown-Up's and joining the Adult Conspiracy.) Done in excellent taste and reminiscent of the cheesecake pinups of the 1940's and 1950's, the book is sure to please any collector of fantasy art.
06/10/2004: A must-have book for centaur fanatics
Ric and Laura have done it again! Where else can you get a book filled with amazing centaur artwork for such a great price? I must have looked through this book a dozen times the first day. It is that good. Plus, you also get pictures of everyone's favorite saytr troublemaker/heroine, Safire satyr. This book rocks!
