Two different sets of glorious fantasy art popped up on my RSS reader this morning that simply must be seen.
Dave McKean’s Fantasy Art Stamps

This collection for the UK post office will be available soon. Source: Dave McKean Stamps
SF & Historical Art
I cannot tell you anything about this artist because my source is in Russian (I think). A lot of their art is not strictly fantasy but imagined historical art, from Greek sea battles to modern day Iraq. Scatted in there are some great SF art and images like the one above, that have a subtle menace to them. Click through because they are well worth a look.
