Yuko Shimizu's art is like a cooler version of your wildest dreams


You've probably admired the work of award-winning artist Yuko Shimizu before — her art has adorned some covers of Vertigo Comics' The Unwritten as well as some great book covers and illustrations at Tor.com. But when you see a bunch of her gorgeous work all in one place, it's pretty mind-blowing.


Shimizu posted a new portfolio recently over at Behance, showing her work illustrating everything from steampunk to lush fantasy to space opera — and it's all united by a particular design sense as well as bright, thrilling imagery.


Check out some of our favorite images below, and tons more at the links. [Yuko Shimizu at Behance, via Comic Book Resources]
