Andrew Skilleter’s new Doctor Who Art Book is selling fast

By John Freeman on July 23, 2025

Longtime Doctor Who illustrator Andrew Skilleter has just launched Evolution Doctor Who Art ~ A New Dimension, a visually rich, beautifully bound and presented Limited Edition Doctor Who Art book, enriched with exclusive extras.

Packed with brand-new Doctor Who art, this collection features vivid depictions of the Doctors, Companions, and Adversaries, including Daleks and the Cybermen. The darker side the Whoniverse emerges, too, in the haunting Daemons and Dark Doings feature.

Only 185 Copies across three of these High-End Limited Editions will be published, and the Premium Artist’s Boxed Edition has already sold out, so don’t delay ordering if you’re a fan of Andrew’s work!

A selection of the illustrations are accompanied by memorable quotations, or explore narrative possibilities in the form of “What If? Another Time, Another Place” — visually reimagining untold stories from alternative timelines.

At the heart of the book lies “Fragments”, an Under Gallery ‘Exhibition’ of previously unseen and unpublished private commissions, presented by the Curator, himself.

“My new imprint, Illuminart Publishing ~ Fine Editions, proudly brings Evolution which marks an exciting new creative direction for me as the title suggests,” says Andrew, who’s well known for his work creating Doctor Who art, but has created illustrations for many other well-known SF franchises, too.

“Evolution is a visually rich, conceptual journey – a free form galaxy of dynamic new art and graphics,” he continues. “Full of the unexpected, it will be unlike any other Doctor Who art collection.

“‘What If? Another Time, Another Place’ – sometimes employing wordplay and a playful tone, many of the figurative artworks show characters in surprising costume variants, suggesting stories for the characters that are yet to be told, particularly for a selection of the Companions but not forgetting the Doctors, and Adversaries. The darker side is represented by a Daemons and Dark Doings feature.

“And don’t miss The Curator, who introduces the ‘Fragments’ exhibition, located at the heart of the book in the Under Gallery. Ever copy contains an exclusive entry ticket.

“I hope you find the book as uplifting and surprising as I do creating it.”
