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.

Throughout the 1960s and 70s, London-based Big O Posters helped define the new and democratic art medium of the psychedelic poster, a vehicle for rebellion against the old order that went hand in hand with the music, literature, and film of the time. This is a comprehensive collection of works published by Big O artists, astonishingly creative folks whose artistry developed almost completely outside the influence of the art establishment. Included in more than 300 images are works by 19 artists, including Martin Sharp, Roger Dean, H.R. Giger, Robert Venosa, and Vali Myers, whose signature styles include sci-fi, fantasy, visionary, botanical, and surrealism. In addition to hundreds of original works, this book digs below the surface to offer insights and anecdotes about the era, the artistic process, and reveals connections to artists from the past (Aubrey Beardsley, Alphonse Mucha, Kay Nielsen) whose spirit chimed with the age of Big O Posters.

Jurgen Ziewe is the acknowledged master of computer-generated fantasy art. He won an international reputation from his mystical Crystal Vision cards, following up that success many bestselling posters including with his Mona Lisa and Creation. This book collects the most stunning of Ziewe's images and, for the first time, reveals the groundbreaking working methods of this pioneer of computer imaging.In New Territories, Ziewe guides the reader through the basics of working on computer instead of canvas, from creating three-dimensional backgrounds and virtual landscapes, to playing with fractals, textures and posing the human figure. The book also provides the insight behind his compelling illustrations -- inspired by Jungian dream theory and New Age symbolism. Ziewe has created landscapes that until now were only possible in the imagination -- from dolphins cavorting in space and metallic superbeings enjoying a virtual picnic to hippies perched on the hood of a VW Beetle, basking in a fractalized sun- set. For all artists graphic designers in and interested expanding their computer design skills as well as fans of fantasy and New Age art, New Territories provides an illuminating look at the artistic medium of the future.
