BP by Bruce Pennington
BP is a miniaturised and abridged version of Pennington's portfolio volume, Ultraterranium, and is one of six miniature volumes Paper Tiger published of science fiction illustrators.

The small size of reproduction means that much detail is lost, and the spacious vistas of Pennington's landscapes diminished. Nevertheless, the jewel-like brilliance of his colours shine out clearly, and this is a powerful little book. There is a suitably 'miniature' commentary upon the sweeping vision of fantasy and science fiction art, presumably written by editor, Julie Davis. It's also a bonus to have a note of the books for which most of the paintings were made as cover illustrations.

I'm tempted to collect the other books in the series, but do I really need more books? Yes, of course I do!… (more)

Eschatus: Future Prophecies from Nostradamus'… by Bruce Pennington
Pennington takes selections from the Prophecies of Nostradamus, sequencing then into a rough narrative of the rise of a fascist Antichrist and the end of days, magnificently illustrated in his inimitable fashion to create a febrile vision of the apocalypse.

The book is a beautiful, album-sized collection of artworks, often taking the form of surreal visions reminiscent of St John's Book of Revelations. Symbolic, oblique, by turns nightmarish and dreamlike.
