'Boris and Julie are masters at creating strong and engaging images that pull a reader in and invite them to enter into extraordinary worlds'. Irene Gallo, Art Director, Tor Books Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell have been two of the biggest names in fantasy art for over 40 years. The Ultimate Illustrations presents the first collection of their sketches in over 15 years and features 100 previously unpublished illustrations. Taking the reader into the privacy of their studio and giving an insight into the artistic imagination of Boris and Julie - some of these were produced for pleasure and experiment and others as preliminary ideas for commissioned work. Ranging from the most delicate pencil fantasies to bold cover designs, The Ultimate Illustrations are stunning works of art in their own right and an invaluable addition to the collector's portfolio.
