Description
Enter a world beyond your wildest dreams ...
A world of sensational sex goddesses ... brazen, muscled men ... incredible, mythical beasts
Mirage
Few artists are as imaginative, skillful, and versatile as Boris Vallejo. Renowned the world over for his fabulous cover illustrations on major works of science fiction and fantasy, Vallejo now turns his considerable talents to erotic fantasy art.
Vallejo's "Demon Lover" enfolds a naked beauty in his leathery wings, his scaled hand drawing a drop of blood as she yields to his caress. Young lovers embrace as the heavens burst with radiant light, as if blessing their love. A nude woman reclnes in captivity as a snake entwines her, bringing her to ecstasy. "First Love" is a delicate vision within a vision: a young woman with butterfly wings holds up a translucent bubble in which she sees herself still in the coccon.
These new paintings, never before seen, and produced especially for this stunning volume, are so bold, so provocative, so superb, they will challenge the mind as they arouse the emotions ...
Featuring sensuous poetry by Doris Vallejo, inspired by the paintings.
