A stunning showcase of one of the most distinctive visual artists of the late twentieth century, Castle presents the iconic airbrush illustrations of Philip Castle in a lavish, career-spanning collection. Known for his hyper-realistic yet surrealist imagery, Castle's work defined an era of bold graphic artistry — from his legendary rock album covers and film posters, including the unforgettable visuals for A Clockwork Orange and Full Metal Jacket, to his seductive, chrome-finished visions of futurism and fantasy. This volume gathers his most celebrated works into a single, breathtaking compendium, illustrating the full breadth of his technical mastery and imaginative range. Published by Paper Tiger, the renowned imprint dedicated to visionary fantasy and science fiction art, Castle stands as both a definitive retrospective and an essential reference for students of illustration, graphic design, and popular culture. Castle's airbrush technique — immaculate, luminous, and utterly singular — bridges the worlds of fine art and commercial imagery with a confidence that few illustrators have matched. For anyone captivated by the intersection of technology, eroticism, and science fiction in visual art, this collection raises an irresistible question: where does craft end and pure vision begin?
