ImagineFX Issue 32

Issue 32 has landed...

Presenting The Sci-Fi Art Masters… HR Giger and Syd Mead.

This is a very special issue of ImagineFX. We’ve managed to get an audience with two true legends of sci-fi and fantasy art, namely Blade Runner’s Syd Mead and Alien’s HR Giger. Each magazine comes with two covers - one for Mead, one for Giger.

Both of these hugely influential artists are interviewed in-depth and we explore just how much these artists have influenced popular culture and art over the years.  Also, two top contemporary artists show you how to paint in the style of Giger and Mead.
