About art book Aphos

Aphos is an art book by Andrew Mar. Its pages form a splendid collection of ink drawings. These drawings represent different kingdoms:

  • Celestial – the dominion of angels, of elegance and power, who serve to protect their boundaries.
  • Terrestrial – the mortal lands of warring kingdoms, and those caught between them in forest and sky.
  • Infernal – the dark world of demons, succubi, dragons, and beasts, all scraping and scavenging to survive. 
  • Pelagial – the abyss of those whose sparse company are only those found in the void.

You're in for a real treat!

 

About artist Andrew Mar

Andrew Mar is an American artist based in Dallas. He is also a concept artist who has created numerous fantasy-themed visual works. As a child, he discovered Indian ink during traditional Chinese calligraphy classes, and this tool became a real passion for him. What he loves most about his work is his ability to imagine new creatures, straight out of his mind, that we would love to see come to life in a video game or even in a movie.

"I’ve been drawing for my entire life, a child when my parents enrolled me in lessons for traditional Chinese calligraphy. Some may have found it mind numbing and dull, but I grew addicted to the medium. Over time, the ink brush evolved into the ink pen, and those Chinese characters evolved into fantasy characters. I also make it a goal to participate in international online art challenges such as Inktober and Mermay. These communal occasions provide the fuel for maintaining consistent discipline together with passion.
Ink is a straight-forward, binary medium- black ink and white paper. With only two hard tones at one’s disposal, it can be difficult to create subtle transitions and softness. Mistakes become stark, and attempts to fix them usually make it worse. This challenge is part of the appeal. My love for ink has me constantly striving to master the medium, and always eager to create."
