Just wanted to pimp this book: The Art of Midway (http://www.amazon.com/Art-Midway-Before-Pixels-Polygons/dp/1933492198/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/105-0606774-0290040?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1189034335&sr=1-1)
Concept art books for movies have established themselves as a niche - it'd be cool to see the same thing happen for games as well. There's a ton of fantastic concept work that happens at most game studios, and it'd be great if books like this got enough sales to make this a viable market so these uber-talented artists get more recognition.
The guy from our studio (Ben Olsen) is a fantastic artist with distinctly warped sensibilities that have served him well on past projects, and there's other good work in there as well from the other Midway studios.
Anyway, hopefully a few people check this out - I'd love to see a 2nd one published that allowed us to show off all the fantastic concept work from our current project - trust me, it'd be worth it.
