The Alien Life of Wayne Barlowe

Rating:
Summary: It's like a sampler of Wayne Barlowe's artwork...
Review: 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.

Summary: A beautiful book of beautiful art.
Review: 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.
