Reviews
Kinuko Y Craft is one of the truly great illustrators, right up there with Edmund Dulac, Maxfield Parrish, and Arthur Rackham. She has conjured women into heroic fantasy via illustrations for decades, winning numerous awards. What makes her paintings so special, besides the luminous quality of her artwork, is the sheer wealth of detail she invests in her backgrounds. You can spend hours studying some of the images, discovering mysteries and revelations in the margins. The best illustrations are like Jungian dreams come to life.When I met Craft at the World Fantasy Convention last year, where she was a guest of honor, I asked her to sign the pages of my calendar so I could give the pictures as gifts to my students.
