Dragon World

Come! Enter the Dragon World – an utterly phantasmagorical yet wryly familiar dreamscape where dragons great and small – of every metallic hue of the subterranean rainbow and every freak of sharp-toothed fancy – sport and bathe and fly and fight and dip and dive and practice conscientiously on their musical instruments…and, at the end of a very full day of legendary play, fall to dreaming in their treetop bowers under an ancient moon.

For riotous color, sweeping line of motion, and verisimilar rendering of extravagantly imaginary soaring saurians, no artist can match Rob Brown’s bold but deft brushwork in Dragon World. Brown populates the pages of his newest book with hundreds of exotic beings as compelling as those who peer out at us from the canvases of Henry Fuseli – but Brown’s beautiful monsters are all benign, with smiling eyes and human grace, and entirely suitable to amaze and amuse children.
