The Art of Tyler Jacobson

""This book is a tribute to all those stories made real beneath Tyler Jacobson's brush. I am honored to know him as a great illustrator, alum and friend.” —Charles Pyle, Director Emeritus, School of Illustration, Academy of Art University “Tyler was exceptional as a student. He obtained representation before he graduated, which is unheard of. I have followed his career with amazement. I admire Tyler as a professional—he is truly one of the best. As an individual he is unassuming, which makes him a great person and a wonderful friend.” —William Maughan, Director of the Graduate School of Illustration, Academy of Art University ""It’s like Tyler Jacobson has been painting like an old master from Day One. It deserves to be curated into a book. I can’t wait to see this book.” —Dawn Murin, Senior Art Director, Magic: The Gathering “Tyler’s work has been at the cutting edge of fantasy and concept art for the past decade, elevating our genre to a more thoughtful and mature space. There’s a lot of amazing fantasy art in the world, but it’s rare to find an artist with such a clear and unmistakable vision.” —Chris Rahn, Illustrator “I’ve worked with Tyler for many years on both Magic: The Gathering, and Dungeons & Dragons. He never fails to find a creative angle that is both plausible in its design and visually striking in its execution. To be honest, I enjoy giving him visual problems to solve, because it is such a joy to see his solutions.” —Richard Whitters, Senior Art Director, Dungeons & Dragons “Cycle over cycle, I watched Tyler Jacobson continue to push himself, learn and further master skill sets that were already great. The resulting career and body of work he created are reflected in this book. It has been an honor to witness, much less be a small part of.” —Jeremy Jarvis, Creative Director, Wizards Franchise Development
