“Infected by Art” Deluxe Collector's Volume Features Limited Edition Arthur Suydam Cover!
New York, NY— “Infected by Art,” the new deluxe hard-cover coffee table book featuring the world’s finest fantasy, horror and sci-fi
illustrators, has just been released with a limited edition run of 500
copies, featuring the stunning cover work by award winning artist /
writer, Zombie King, Arthur Suydam.
Written by Todd Spoor and Aaron Raymond and on Bud Plant’s “highly recommended” list, “Infected by Art”
features over 300 images of work’s in the categories of fantasy,
horror illustration and science fiction broken down into five categories
competing for prizes. Winning artists were selected by a
panel-jury comprised of four all-star judges, this year including: Suydam, horror legends Basil Gogos and Sanjulian, and sci-fi cover artist Ken Kelly .
The books
dust jacket explains it all: “The art comprised within is simply the
most imaginative thought-provoking and creative art on the market
today.” Featuring artists from the United States, Canada, Europe, South America, etc. -- truly making this a world-wide collaboration of exceptional works.
Suydam was selected to join the alumni of distinguished judges for this year’s installment of “Infected by Art,” based on his groundbreaking work on Marvel Zombies and a sequence of zombie themed titles over the last ten years which helped prompt a worldwide zombie pop culture explosion, extending to TV, film, gaming, merchandising (Note: Hot Topic), and making the word "zombie" truly a household word. Listed in the book of the "Top 100 Greatest Comic Artists of all Time ,” Suydam and contemporaries, the likes of Richard Corben,
are credited with revolutionizing comics in the 70s and 80s themselves, by
first introducing painted fine art techniques and a fresh, mature storytelling into U.S. mainstream comics, helping to open doors for the writers and artists in the years that followed.
The most recent in a line of books on this celebrated artist has just been released as a deluxe coffee table volume, entitled "The Complete Cholly and Flytrap," from Titan Publishing, while previous books on Suydam include "The Art of Arthur Suydam," from Vanguard, and "The Art of the Barbarian" from Eva Ink / Heavy Metal, among others.
Suydam comes by his painting instincts naturally: Great Uncles on his father's side, James Suydam and Henry Suydam were both among the dozen artists who won American painters recognition on the world stage for the first time at the outbreak of the Civil War, circa 1861 and became known as the Hudson River Painters --a collection of landscape artists credited with reinventing the world of fine art at that time. In the 20s and 30s, E.H. Suydam became one of America’s most celebrated architectural artists with artworks now hanging in the White House, Museum of New York and the National Academy Museum and more. It's a fair bet, that Suydam’s mother, Juliette, a native of Montreal, herself an avid painter may have contributed to instilling an appreciation of the arts into her three sons, as well.
