Boris Vallejo attended the National School of Fine Arts in
his native country of Peru and was recognized for his artwork while working at
the Peruvian branch of McCann Erickson, a large advertising agency, before
immigrating to the United States in 1964. He has since done a great volume of
work for the Fantasy field, having worked for virtually every major publishing
house with a science fiction/fantasy line. Boris is especially known for his
memorable illustrations for album covers, video box art and motion picture
advertising.
Boris Vallejo
Art prints, came to pass when he painted a warrior fighting a creature
from Greek mythology and sold the painting to Warren Publications where it was
later published on the cover of an issue of Eerie Comics, a magazine often
graced by Frank Frazetta paintings.
A superb artist, Boris Vallejo was soon in demand to paint
illustrations for book covers, movie posters, and record album jackets. His
remarkable imagery engendered a worldwide fan following and a popular book,
"The Fantastic Art of Boris Vallejo," first published by Ballantine
in 1978. Boris calendars, produced yearly since 1981 by Workman Publications,
are among the oldest continuously published theme calendars on the market.
Julie Bell began her Fantasy
Artist, career in Beaumont, Texas, as she studied art centered on
drawing, especially of the human figure. Her unique sense of color and dramatic
composition puts her paintings in a class by themselves. Bell's legendary
"metal flesh" technique has the fluency of water and the hardness of
steel while maintaining the sensual softness of the skin. This magical effect
has become her unmistakable trademark. For more information visit the site http://www.frazettagirls.com/.
