This Kickstarter project from Hugo Award nominated artist, Julie Dillon, is the first in a series of self published annual art books featuring exclusive new illustrations of positive and diverse representations of women in fantasy and science fiction.

Each book has it's own theme. The art in Book 1 is all fantasy themed, and Book 2 (which is currently in development) will be science fiction themed. They will be 22-page 9.5" x 12" softcover books, each page printed on sturdy gloss-coated cardstock.

Included in the book are ten new illustrations, plus multiple sketches and progress shots for each illustration. In addition to the printed book, Julie is also offering digital downloads, prints and giclees as rewards for helping to fund this Kickstarter project.
