1983 Fantasy Calendar

BORIS VALLEJOS FOURTH CALENDAR OF FABULOUS WORLDS For 1983: lavish paintings by the master of fantasy art, including thirteen illustrations—one of them a two-page centrefold-all in full-colour. 'Boris Vallejo is one of those rare, gifted artists who can make the most fantastic visions come alive with breathless drama and vivid reality.'— BEN BOVA, editorial director, omni `Though the number of talented fantasy artists grows each year, Boris Vallejo’s work remains in the forefront. Few artists ever match his gift for sensuality in drawing, in use of colour, in the very way he applies the paint. No matter how bizarre the picture's subject, that sensuality triggers response and recognition in us, making us do the most important thing of all in fantasy... Believe.` — ARCHIE GOODWIN, editorial director, epic illustrated. `Boris is a magician bringing dreams to life, creating worlds so real it feels as if he has been there. Strange creatures, voluptuous females, heroic males, and fantasy landscapes with finite detail, all flow from his fingertips guided by his inventive mind. We have admired his work for a long time. He is a craftsman's craftsman, a fine illustrator in the best sense of the word.` LEO and DIANE DILLON, illustrators of fantasy, science fiction. And children's books.
