Review
Barlowe creates entire planets packed with details in his artistic science fiction pictures: enjoy a fine profile of the development of Barlowe's science fiction art career in a title which pairs his startling images with his own insights on the development of each. Fine color throughout brings each drawing alive while Barlowe's own comments provide essential insights. Highly recommended: outstanding. -- Midwest Book Review

This review is from: The Alien Life of Wayne Barlowe (Paperback)
This book has samples of Barlowe's commissioned works for book covers, magazines, newpapers and other clients. It even has chapters about dinosaurs paintings he did for a book (and for fun), projects of the past and projects he is doing for the future. It also has information about his life, his tools and his methods. He explains a lot about how he does things, from what paint he uses to the use of models, from past artists he was a fan of to his love of nature.

A beautiful book of beautiful art.,

This review is from: The Alien Life of Wayne Barlowe (Paperback)
Wayne Douglas Barlowe is one of the greatest living illustrators. This book shows some of his best work through the years. It is truly wonderful. As a sidenote, the back of the book shows preliminary art from a future project, Barlowe's Inferno. It should be noted that Barlowe's Inferno is now available and is excellent.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Barlowe does it again!,

Truly great works by Wayne Barlowe- commissioned work and projects are all shown in this book. Once you read it, you will be taken away to land far away but when you look into the pictures, you will be taken away to new dimension!
