Leonardo da Vinci lived an itinerant life. Throughout his career - from its beginnings in the creative maelstrom of fifteenth century Florence to his role as genius in residence at the court of the king of France - Leonardo created a kind of private universe for himself and his work.

Leonardo also spent a great deal of time away from his easel, pursuing his interest in engineering, natural science, sculpture, poetry, fables, music, and anatomy. In the time that another artist would finish a series of paintings, he would work on one. Sometimes a painting would take decades, accompanying him on his travels as he worked on other commissions.

Leonardo's private world was both vibrant and active. It sometimes did and at other times did not interact with the wider world. But what emerged from it has established Leonardo as the definition of the Renaissance Man.

This Is Leonardo Da Vinci

"Renowned SF illustrator Fred Gambino presents Ground Zero, a collection of his spacescapes and portraits (mostly digital, some acrylic) that have adorned the covers of books by Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury and other leading lights. With the author's brief anecdotal descriptions of his artistic processes and essays by SF writers like Elizabeth Moon and David Brin, this volume will please cognoscenti." --Publishers Weekly.

For more than 25 years, Jim Burns’s imaginative book covers have delighted the giants of the science fiction genre—Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, and Arthur C. Clarke among them. In witty, informative commentary, filled with anecdotes and reminiscences, Burns himself explains the concepts and the process behind the creation of his spellbinding paintings. Several authors weigh in too, recalling their pleased reactions at seeing art that gave shape to their words and brought their visions to life.

Note to Self

Savage, relentless, cunning, and awe-inspiring. Throughout time, there have never been figures more admired or feared as the female fighters. Forced by fortune or foreign invader to give up the gentler role as sister, daughter, mother or lover and take up the sword to protect that which she holds most dear - her land, her people, her freedom! To this noble pantheon of women warriors, these daughters of bloody revolution, this sisterhood of steel, we offer up a gallery of glorious tribute in Sword Song! A full color showcase of paintings and illustrations that celebrate supple curves coupled with sharpened weapons to produce a force no man or army can hope to withstand! An equally awesome band of artists paint powerful portraits, and include the work of Daniel Horne, James Hottinger, Steve Fastner & Rich Larson, Blas Gallego, David Dunstan, to name just a few. Keeping the "Song" tradition, cover painting is by our own warrior princess - Arantza!

Françoise Gilot on Her Life with and Without Picasso

Françoise Gilot left Picasso after a ten-year relationship, the only woman to escape his intense attentions unscathed. Malte Herwig dropped by her ateliers in Paris and New York to chat with her about life, love, and art. She shared observations, her sharp sense of humor, and over ninety years of experience, much of it in the company of men who changed the world: Picasso, Matisse, and her second husband, the famous virologist Jonas Salk, developer of the polio vaccine.

Rob Alexander is one of the most versatile and highly respected artists working today. He paints in watercolours that look more like oils or acylics. His painting style is subtle, beautiful and emotionally evocative. It has enabled him to work well in a number of diverse genres and markets. He has painted high fantasy, landscapes, action adventure, gothic horror and children's stories. Rob has worked in the publishing industry doing bookcovers for TOR, Harper Collins, Berkley and Del Rey. His images have been published in Amazing Stories, Fantasy and Science Fiction, and Cricket magazines. But to most people, he is the artist who paints pictures of sad-eyed women, eerie beings who perch in trees and carve mysterious messages in skulls, hauntingly beautiful landscapes, and young children who either discover, imagine or make beautiful, wondrous things. He was one of the original artists of the Magic the Gathering trading card game phenomenon.
