Book Description
"When I grow up I want to be an astronaut!" declared a six-year-old Stephan in 1968, a year before man walked on the moon. Not surprisingly, his first doodles featured blazing rockets and spaceships. Growing up in France, and not permitted to watch much TV, Stephan spent a lot of time at the corner cinema. There he was introduced to the likes of the Werewolf, the Mummy, Dracula, Frankenstein and King Kong. He traveled on the Voyage to the Center of the Earth and experienced The Day the Earth Stood Still. The fantastic creatures and worlds in all of these classics were overwhelmingly cool. As Stephan's doodles of astronauts became doodles of monsters and aliens, he found himself enjoying drawing more and more--and the dream of becoming an astronaut gradually evolved into becoming a visual artist. Quantum Dreams: The Art of Stephan Martiniere is a collection of his sci-fi book paintings, video game designs and personal art. Stephan takes others' descriptions of faraway, imaginary realms--and makes them real.

 visually arresting, practically lacking. March 27, 2007

Work is very visually arresting, but lacks the depth of some other gifted ideators. One is left to wonder how a person might actually live inside one of those scenes.
 Just what you'd expect from the cover art January 22, 2007

Stephan Martiniere shares some of his excellent art and a bit of his technique in this well put together collection. The book is relatively short compared to some other art books but it is priced to match. Essentially if you like the cover you can expect more of the same kind of work inside. He tends to use a combination of extreme photo manipulation and painting to achieve his look. I found the book to be a worthy addition to my collection of art books, and I would recommend it to those who are interested in digital illustration.
