At 520 pages, this is the thickest 200 Best special in Archive history. The book showcases the 200 best photography works that have been selected by our highly qualified and professional jury, out of a pool of over 8,400 submissions from over 50 countries worldwide.
The 200 Best Digital Artists book is available now to transport you to unimaginable worlds of digital wizardry. The stunning, photo-real cover has been created by Thailand's CGI ace, the globally acclaimed Surachai Puthikulangkura - a regular guest in our magazine over the years. We received 5,000 submissions from over 70 countries; the most spectacular entries have been selected for the 344-page book. The long-awaited Special is available now in bookstores.
In the next few days our latest volume of the biennial series of 200 Best Illustrators worldwide will be available - the latest in our biennial series 200 Best Illustrators worldwide. As on previous occasions, the volume has turned out to be a beautiful survey comprising 312 pages of the best illustration around, featuring talent from more than 25 countries. We had about 6,500 submissions this time which we - that is the preselection jury, consisting of our Art Director Christine Thierry and myself - whittled down to some 1,300 images that were presented to the jury. Over the past six or seven years, preselection of the work to go into the jury round has become increasingly tricky. The main reason for this is the way Digital has informed all aspects of the illustrator's profession. And there is a very fine line indeed between a lot of illustrators' work and that of a CGl artists, a group for which we have our own special, the 200 Best Digital Artists. The latest volume of that - it's also a biennial - we've started to work on right now and expect to publish it towards the end of the year. So my task was also to keep the obvious "digital wizardry" that erases the borders between illustration, photography and CGI and to keep the brilliant stuff that is done in this field for our upcoming Digital special - not an easy task as quite a few CGI artists rightfully see themselves as illustrators. Still, we tried to keep the selection within the realm of what is usually perceived as "illustration", even though a computer may frequently have been involved in the creation of the work.

Welcome to the New Year! The first issue of Lürzer's Archive will become available soon and we'll be publishing the latest edition of our biennial 200 Best Digital Artists worldwide around the same time. It will be the fourth book in this series, in which we present the cream of the crop in all things COI. The hefty volume will comprise more than 340 pages and feature the very best in commercial digital imaging from all over the world. Additionally, you will find an interview with Surachai Puthikulangkura, the highest-ranking CGI artist/illustrator in Lürzer's Archive, of Illusion, Bangkok, the studio he founded. Since this is also the time we go searching about for an image from the book that will serve as a cover, I thought I'd show you all the options we've found so far. As this is still an ongoing process with alternatives found every day, we won't ask for your vote on this. Instead, I present you these current cover options only to give you an inkling of what lies in store for you in the upcoming 200 Best. You are, of course, very welcome to voice your opinion in the comments section of the Facebook post of this blog on those you like or don't like. The first option has been taken from a campaign by Y&R in Santiago de Chile for the Cafe Caribe brand of coffee, a dark-roast espresso blended with "the Latino taste in mind."
