An all-new collection of lush, four-color artwork from the studio of acclaimed fantasy artists Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell.
Artist Boris Vallejo is renowned for his paintings of beautiful maidens, heroic men, and fearsome monsters, while his wife and partner, Julie Bell, is revered for her unique sense of color and dramatic composition. As two of the most acclaimed and popular artists working in fantasy today, Boris and Julie have produced artwork for album covers, trading cards, posters, and calendars.
Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell: Dreamland features outstanding examples of their most recent work. Highlighting muscle-bound heroes, fierce dragons, and alluringly beautiful women in fantastical, otherworldly landscapes, these gorgeous pieces reflect a new level of maturity, sophistication, and intrigue. Capturing the pursuits that currently inspire the artists, these works resonate with a startling new emotional depth that adds magnitude to their powerful heroes and buxom heroines.
This carefully curated selection of images is accompanied by fascinating text that provides unique insight into each artist’s process as well as biographical stories that reveal their personal histories, the influences that have shaped them, the ideas that inspire them, and their future professional aspirations. Also, for the first time ever, this outstanding compendium includes ten stunning limited-edition art prints that can easily be removed and displayed.

My Third Vallejo/Bell book and did not disappoint. My only complaint is with Amazon. They threw the book in with some other items I ordered in a big box unprotected and destroyed the dust cover.

Boris is a great artist whose works are really inspiring. The printing of this book is of high quality – clear images and vibrant colors. Really love the artworks in it and should be one of the books that I frequently refer to and get inspirations from. Highly recommended.

WOW!!!=oO I knew after watching Parka’s video review that I was going to love this, but I still was BLOWN AWAY with how filled up with GORGEOUS illustrations this book has! And if that wasn’t enough there was a wonderful surprise at the end of the book of frame-able prints! I also loved learning about their history and how they met. Sounds like they are true soulmates and it shows in their artwork! Absolutely LOVE this book!!
Now if they would only make an adult coloring book for those of us not so talented to color…. At any rate…this book will inspire me for years to come!

Valeu muito a pena, mas muito a pena mesmo comprar esse produto, ótimo livro de coletânia de ilustrações , papel couche , capa dura, as imagens estão excelente com uma qualidade fantástica e além do mais vem com uma surpresa muito boa que são 10 prints dentro dessa edição.
Recomendo fortemente para quem estuda pintura, faz exercício de observação e claro para quem curte esse tema de fantasia realista.

OMG, I have pretty much every book published by Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell. I have been a fan of their work for many years, I have to say this is the BEST book of their art that has been published to date. The majority of the art displayed in the book are provided as full page examples and are beautiful examples of their work. The art prints provided in the back of this book are marvelous. All told this is a fabulous book, if your a fan of fantasy art you will not be disappointed!

I only wish I purchased the hardback version vs the Kinde version. The information written in the book is well worth the money especially, the question and answer section, it is new and all worthwhile. The pictures are just too small in the Kindle version and I wish I could blow it up so that I can see the detail better. I hope Amazon can do something about that and send a free update. There is a great difference in price between the 2 but without prior knowledge that the pictures would only be 1/3 the screen size, I feel let down. It has been a long time since I purchased a book on the Kindle that I wished to return – now knowing that I could have returned it if I did not wait for the week to go by – it is partially my fault. I would give this book 5 stars but due to the small images that can only lend a rough knowledge between the color and overall composition of the pieces within, I have to give it 4 stars. If there is a free updated version in the near future where the images are larger I may change this review and change the rating.
* I called Amazon instead of using the “Content and Devices” – they were kind and gave me a refund for the return. I just purchased the hardcover edition.
