Last night at the Utopiales festival in Nantes, France, Jean-Baptiste Monge received the the Art and Fact Prize (Prix Artetfact). Mr. Monge (b. 1971) has created several magnificent oversize illustrated books on the world of faeries, and recently won the Silver Medal from Spectrum Annual of Fantastic Art.
I was honored to present the award to Mr. Monge during the ceremonies, as we are friends and I am an enthusiastic admirer of his work. He has a reverence for the masters of illustration, such as Rackham, Dulac, Bauer and Rockwell, and an uncanny ability to create believable characters in the world of faerie. -------
