Shelf wear and small tear to edge of D/J. Waterstain mark to top edge of D/J. A unique insight into the working methods through which Chris Achilleos produces his enormous range of mesmerizing imagery, from seductive Amanonian beauties to fiendish barbaric aliens. This book examines several of his recent commissions stage by stage from initial concept to finished painting, and also looks into the background of earlier works by means of sketches and drawings and discussion of the ideas and eternal forces that shaped them. In the course of this many useful tips for the budding illustrator are dropped and it becomes clear that Achilleos has achieved that balance which artists in all fields aim for but rarely attain - the ability to achieve through hard work and perseverance an excellence that seems effotless and almost casual on first acquaintance. Illustrated. 144 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).

From the publisher: "The art of Boris Vallejo is characterized by beautiful maidens, heroic men and fearsome monsters while the work of his wife Julie Bell is famous for a sense of color and dramatic composition which puts her paintings in a class by themselves. As two of the most acclaimed fantasy artists working today, Boris and Julie have produced art for album covers, trading cards, posters and calendars for (in Boris' case) 30 years -- and have seen 15 books published celebrating their breathtaking work. BORIS VALLEJO AND JULIE BELL: THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION brings together all their greatest pieces throughout their careers, while also including some unseen new work. The book is arranged chronologically and divided into three main sections: early, middle and recent art. A narrative accompanies the paintings with captions for many of the pieces. The pages are also punctuated by quotes from Boris and Julie's peers in the fantasy art field and fans of their work, who pay homage to their art and comment on how their work has inspired them to become better artists."
