Book om en målare som kan få sina målningar till liv [stängt]

Det är inte en hel bok per se , men berättelserna genom Diana L. Paxson om Lalo the Limner från Thieves 'World (aka Sanctuary) antologier av samarbetet världsbyggda noveller passar den fakturaen:

• Målare upptäcker att hans verk kommer till liv (ibland genom att dra honom in i verken, ibland av arbetena som går ut ur duken).

• Hijinks följer när han börjar måla gudar.

• Han kan inte riktigt få tag på och "äga" sin gåva ... han är en liten karaktär med en talang som är alldeles för stor för honom.

Med tanke på din tidsram kommer jag att föreslå den senaste versionen av Imager Portfolio av L.E. Modesitt Jr .

Imager is the beginning of a whole new fantasy in a whole new magical world from the bestselling creator of Recluce. Although Rhennthyl is the son of a leading wool merchant in L’Excelsis, the capital of Solidar, the most powerful nation on Terahnar, he has spent years becoming a journeyman artist and is skilled and diligent enough to be considered for the status of master artisan—in another two years. Then, in a single moment, his entire life is transformed when his master patron is killed in a flash fire, and Rhenn discovers he is an imager—one of the few in the entire world of Terahnar who can visualize things and make them real.

He must leave his family and join the Collegium of Imagisle. Imagers live separately from the rest of society because of their abilities (they can do accidental magic even while asleep), and because they are both feared and vulnerable. In this new life, Rhenn discovers that all too many of the “truths” he knew were nothing of the sort. Every day brings a new threat to his life. He makes a powerful enemy while righting a wrong, and begins to learn to do magic in secret.

Imager is the innovative and enchanting opening of an involving new fantasy story. Hardcover, 432 pages; Published March 17th 2009 by Tor Books
