    Boris has got to be the greatest artist of our time, hands down.

    I get this!!!! I am looking for artists who can work on my album cover to recreate the magic I felt as a child and to this day when I stare at DIO album covers and the Labyrinth original poster just to name a few. Epic, storytelling.

    I've been in a terribly dark place, this past year. Somewhere i have no clue how to get out of... But I needed to see & hear something as passionate as this so much more so than i could ever express in words... on a TH-cam comment, of all places.... But i guess what i'm trying to say is "Thank You" for this. This video. This new record. Reminding me that music is worth living for. That i'm not alone. To always party the hardest i possibly can at all times; Especially when life feels like its all just "too much" to deal with. Thank you for reminding me that not all art is a death sentence. Years of the music industry beating me down had me so fooled & bitter. This is truly what i needed. Pre-Ordering this magic, as soon as i'm not a broke bizich, on Friday :)

    "i think this painting is gonna have a lot of power. it's gonna have a _lot_ of power." really awesome to hear an artist like boris verbalize their excitement for a new painting. it's beautiful to see that this far along in his career he's still energized and passionate about an idea.

    I believe He came here w 80 dollars and washed dishes didn’t speak English and worked his way up and had an earth angel who helped him and gave him a chance. Julie and Boris are more than just painters they are parents to talented kids and are really beautiful souls. Glad I have met them it was like a dream come true to see how humble they are. Boris also plays the violin 🎻

    I am a painting historian and practitioner, i discovered master Vallejo through reading about fantasy art painters, i instantly fell into the magic of Boris Vallejo, i actually couldn't believe those were paintings, i am used to seeing rembrandt, fabritius and Bouguereau (Realistic painters from a hundreds years ago) but Vallejo brought life to the art of painting, his art always seems to move, unlike other hyper-realistic painters from the last 20 years ago. I collected all his paintings and the only way to do it for me physically was through his comic images series.

    What an AMAZING video! I lost track of time watching this. So many people assume that "oh, somebody sat down and painted that cover." Hardly! An entire universe of inspiration and meetings of the minds and creativity goes into this and it's so incredibly awesome to hear the story behind it. Long before I ever found this video, I literally spent forever staring at that painting and studying it and picking out every detail ... wow, they even got those reflections right ... that kind of thing. So the goal was achieved, at least with some of us.

    • @goldenstarmusic1689

    Collect science fiction and fantasy art books and no one's empire will be as big as yours. No one's adventures will surpass your own, if you but day dream a bit. If you ever stuck in a lockdown again (more coming I think) curl up with fantasy art books and escape the real world for a bit.
    These are my favorite art books, all available on Amazon:
    - The Art of Rowena by Doris Vallejo
    - Infinite Worlds by Vincent DiFate
    - Beyond the Horizon by John Harris
    - Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson
