Exposè 7
Exposè 7 is finally out! The seventh book of this famous series published by Ballistic Publishing is now avaiable for preorder! The book is published in three different editions: Soft Cover, Hard Cover (my favourite) and Limited Edition.
This time, Exposè 7 shows 391 digital art masterpieces by 288 artists in 51 countries! The Soft/Hard Cover Editions show 224 pages, while the Limited Edition has 240 pages and a black leather cover!
This time, the front cover is “Touch of Gold” an image by Bente Schlick, and, in my opinion, this is one of the most amazing covers ever published on this series. If you are ont of the first 300 lucky people who preorder a copy of this book (or either if you preorder or purchase a Limited Edition copy) you can download a 30 minutes video walkthrough on the making of this cover! Also, if you buy a Limited Edition, you will receive 8 amazing high quality prints!
I must admit, I’ve preordered my copy as a selfmade “gift” for my last exam result on 30rd April (that’s why I haven’t updated in a while) and I can’t wait to see it! Expect a review from me!
The book shipping will start Mid-June!
