Fantasy Friday Chat: Artists
Those who bring worlds to life...
#FantasyFriday
I remember being captivated by the art of Peruvian Boris Vellejo when I was younger. (I can’t believe he’s still alive and 83 years old!) But as I grew older, I wanted more than just barbarians and bare-chested women.
These days, my artistic yearnings lean more toward Ann Stokes, her fantasy art, and of course her dragons.
Do you have a favorite Fantasy artist? Who are they? Why does their work appeal to you? Tell us about them in the comments.
Ooo another Vellejo fan! me too. Lately my tastes have moved toward Julie Bell, Gerald Brom, and Keith Parkinson
I am intrigued by the artists who used to do regular and good work for pulp magazines in the 1930s- Margaret Brundage, Virgil Finlay, Frank Paul, Wesso Wesoloski, etc.- and the artists for EC who later contributed to MAD- Wallace Wood, Basil Wolverton etc. They all drew real people you wanted to know and real places you wanted to live in (although Wood and Wolverton could also draw stuff that was completely opposite from that).
