HEROIC AND ROMANTIC FANTASY

Character illustration art prints and other great stuff from the amazing Game of Thrones series. Wonderful gift for anyone who knows nothing about it :-)

Frank Frazetta was regarded by many as the godfather of heroic fantasy who influenced so many other great artists (one of the best nowadays being Simon Bisley - check him out!). What is there to say? He was a one-man revolution in fantasy art and described by some of today's artists as the greatest artist who ever lived. His passing away in May 2010 was the passing of an era. He battled against illness for the last 40 years of his life but battled on defiantly painting with his left hand when he could no longer use his right hand. A hero like the many heroes he painted. Conan would have been proud of him!

Another great TSR artist and gaming illustrator who has produced masses of fabulous painting. You've seen his work everywhere but propbably not realised it was him. Fiery dragons, fiesty robot hunters, swashbuckling heroes - take a look in here and see some brilliant work.

The books of the Malloreon and Belgariad by David Eddings have been on sale in bookshops for year after year after year. The original covers were painted by this talented British painter Geoff Taylor. However, Geoff Taylor has also produced masses of other stunning artwork that you will find prints of in here. There are some lovely large prints for fans of Geoff Taylor's art.

Apart from his well-known work for TSR Clyde Caldwell has worked for numerous other publishers including Baen Books, Armada Comics, SQ Productions and Inquest Magazine, as well as gaming art for Wizards of the Coast, Precedence Entertainment, White Wolf Game Studio, Palladium Games and Bethesda Softworks. Clyde Caldwell's Heroic Fantasy and gothic images have elements of much of what is best in modern fantasy all executed with brilliant technique. Come and have a look at Clyde Caldwell's amazing art prints !

In the early seventies the name Barry Windsor-Smith (or just Barry Smith) was synonymous with craftsmanship - Barry Windsor-Smith was so dedicated to his work that despite being paid a rate per page he turned out comic pages with incredible detail that have become very collectable. Fine ink-work is BNarry Smith's trade-mark and although there are other great draughtsmen around there is a massive following surrounding this British artist who produced a wealth of incredible comic art in storylines for Conan etc. Barry Windsor-Smith also set up his own printing press 'The Gorblimey Press', which, although it was short-lived, turned out a lovely range of large prints and posters of his work. These are now very collectable as well. You'll find some of these Gorblimey Press Barry Windsor-Smith prints in our collection here at Artists UK.

Linked romantically to Boris Vallejo she is often regarded as the female version of his artwork. Her trademark is steel monsters with lovely women (or men). She has done a fair bit of work for Marvel comics too. There are various old prints and old calendar plates that have been dry-mounted and matted.

Probably the most well-known Heroic Fantasy artist in the world. There are various old prints in here plus old calendar plates that have been dry-mounted and matted. Boris Vallejo is a perfectionist in terms of human anatomy and a skilled figure drawer as well as painter. You have seen his work - it's almost impossible not to have done!

People have been known to say generally of comic artists (if they are particularly stupid or snobbish about art),"Oh, he's not much of an artist - he just does comics." Well, this artist did comics!! So did several other brilliant artists and Jeffrey Catherine Jones is one of the best. Some of this work should be hanging in major national galleries alongside the old classical painters. There's the brilliant 'Blind Narcissus' and the later companion piece 'Age of Innocence' for starters. If you like romantic fantasy art in the old style you must get a look at the work of Jeffrey Catherine Jones. If the name strikes you as unusual it is because Jeffrey Jones was never comfortable as a man and had a gender change. Either way you look at it there are very few artists, male or female, that can poduce work as enigmatic and beautiful as Jeffrey Catherine Jones.

A great range of images from Keith parkinson, the celebrated TSR artist who has produced a wealth of amazing artwork. If you have read the books Keith Parkinson has done covers for then you'll find a few great surprises available here. These large glossy Keith Parkinson artcards date from way back in 1996 and have been professionally mounted (matted) ready for framing. Each Keith Parkinson mounted artcard is thesame size so these can make a great set. Your own gallery of Keith Parkinson art!

A practically self-taught artist using a range of techniques Chris Down has produced some bold and imaginitive work over the years ranging from Celtic Knotwork to Gothic or Angelic visions. You may have seen his work on the set of twelve Celtic cards published in 1994 or in the 1998, Blandford Press published book 'Celtic Dreams'. This was an illustrated anthology of Irish poetry, the idea for which was Chris's concept. For this, he collated the poems, wrote the additional text, produced the illustrations, painted the cover and designed the entire page layout. This led on to two major book projects for the publishers David and Charles. Maybe it is a good idea to start collecting Chris Down's signed prints before he gets too famous ....

One of the greatest names in fantasy art and also responsible for publishing some great fine-art prints by other major names. Most known for his incredible rendering of Elric from the books of Michael Moorcock

Most well-known as one of the best 2000 AD artists ever, Simon Bisley is a remarkable self-taught artist in the style of Frank Frazetta who he greatly admires. In his early days he used to paint people's motorbikes for them. Surviving examples of this are now worth a small fortune. If you haven't read any graphic novels he's illustrated we would recommend "Judgement on Gotham" and "Slaine the Horned God" which are both excellent examples of his brilliant style and technique. In here are a selection of plates and prints covering Slaine and other 2000 AD work etc. Most of these are long out-of-print.

Well-known for his fabulous portrayals of archetypal fantasy females in unusual settings here are a few great ones you can hang up.

Maybe the word 'Dragonlance' means something to you, maybe not, but TSR artists produced some amazing artwork to illustrate their fabulous worlds. Here are examples by great artists like Fred Fields, Robh Ruppel, Keith Parkinson, Paul Jaquays and Jeff Easley. These large glossy artcards were published way back in the early nineties and look stunning when professionally mounted.

In the latter part of the nineteenth century this incredibly talented guy from a small town in Czechoslovakia went forth and eventually conquered the hearts of people all over the world with this beautiful work. He was both a designer and a painter who worked in his long career in such diverse fields as theatre set design, jewellery, architecture and sculpture. He was part of the growing Art Nouveau movement in France and Britain. Although this movement went into a decline not long after the beginning of the twentieth century somehow Mucha's work has still retained a fond place in the hearts of generation after generation. You can see and buy some in here......

All those dinosaurs, warriors and other stuff that hasn't found a home in one of the artist sections.

Beautiful Romantic Fantasy at it's best! Bold gorgeous lush images by this very talented artist.

The unique talent behind so much of the world of Manga Entertainment from Tank Police to Ghost in the Shell and many others.

Greek Cypriot painter who is far more famous in the USA than here in the UK where he has lived most of his life. From erotic women to dark gothic images Chris has turned out many incredible pieces of work. He is greatly admire by other artists. One BIG name in fantasy art said of him that he wished he could find a flaw in his work sometimes. Big praise indeed. If you want an overview of his work there is the book 'Sirens' in our bookshop. There are not masses of prints available so get them while you can!

Images from the Metabaron Saga....available as signed or unsigned prints.

The amazing role play game that has been popular for many years has had many artists illustrating the various characters and powers that make up the game from the nasty vampire 'Baron Sengir' to the old original 'Timetwister' to the rare 'Black Lotus'...find them all here and build up a collection to cover your walls with.

One of those artists who tries to keep out of the limelight but never quite succeeds because he is just so brilliant! He is quite reclusive though and we know very little about him. He is a mainly self-taught American artist who has worked for several different publishers and whose work is highly collectable. He is one of our personal favourites here. Anyone with info on Mr Canty is welcome to E-Mail it to us.

Combining the power and impact of a Frazetta painting with more contemporary gothic images and delivering them with a skill and uniqueness like few others.
