EUROPE'S MOST VISITED SF/F WEB SITE |
| The
Julie Bell Portfolio Pub: Paper Tiger. 64
page coffee-table size softcover. Price: £12.99 (UK), $21.95 (US) and $31.95
(CAN). ISBN: 1-85585-852-5. Check out website: www.papertiger.co.uk
Some of this work turns up in her later books but
certainly not at the page-size depicted here. If anything, it would be interesting
to see a second volume of selected Bell's work released in a similar fashion to
this for comparison.
The
metallic look is carried over subtly with 'Robo Bird' to the sensual 'Golden Lover'
to the more playful 'Marble Master'. In the introduction, her husband Boris Vallejo points out that Julie Bell has a knack for painting 'metal flesh' that surpasses his own. As their latest book has indicated by this review, it's since progressed into other fabrics. If you want to see the evolution
of Julie Bell's work, this book should certainly be amongst your collection if
you haven't bought it already. GF Willmetts

The
companion book to the 'Boris Vallejo Portfolio' reviewed 
Of
special interest is the cover and interior complete picture of Lilandra
Neramani from the 'X-Men' comic mythology. Likewise, the 'Looking'
picture of a metallic lady looking at a startled reflection of herself
in a crack in her reality.
