This review is from: Twin Visions: The Magical Art of Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell (Paperback)
I bought this book along with Imaginistix and III Millennium. I don't think I can compare Luis Royo with Boris Vallejo. They have different styles, both very appealing in their own way.
Between Imaginistix and Twin Visions though, I would choose the latter the only reason being its slightly bigger size. Other than that, and after owning several books by Boris Vallejo (besides the ones mentioned above I also have Mirage and The fabulous women of), it's pretty much safe to say that it would be very hard for me to be disappointed with his work. It's easy to tell which paintings were made by Boris and which were made by Julie. The ones made by Boris have a darker tone and Julie's finishing methods aren't as thorough which leaves them a little less clear. I guess what I mean is that sometimes you can compare a Boris painting with a photograph while that would be much more difficult to happen with a Julie painting. As a comic book fan and not an art expert (as most of you have already guessed) to me this is indeed superior fine art. It's a treat for the eyes and I often find myself flipping through it.

This review is from: Twin Visions: The Magical Art of Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell (Paperback)
I have seen a lot of artwork in my past 60 years from all over the world. but this book was or I should say is far better than I ever could of thought it could be. saying it is Fantastic would be like putting just one word on its beauty and style. the two artists work together is like getting two books for the price of one,.

This review is from: Twin Visions: The Magical Art of Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell (Paperback)
I have been a fan of Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell's work for quite some time. This book is yet another example of their jaw-dropping ability and mastery of oil and acrylic paints. Though not as large as some of their other books, it is still worth owning. An excellent addition to any art book collection.
