PRAISE FOR THE ART OF STEPHEN YOULL
“Stephen Youll’s eye for detail and vibrant color sense have helped give A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE a look all its own—covers leap off a bookshelf from ten feet away, and yet simultaneously evoke echoes of Leighton and the chivalric art of another age, and his commitment to verisimilitude is the answer to many a writer’s prayer.”
—George R. R. Martin
“ It has been my privilege as an author to work with some of the great Fantasy/science Fiction artists of this generation.
I place Stephen Youll at the top of the list.”
—Margaret Weis
“Stephen Youll’s artwork captures the spirit and tone of
the varied characters, including menacing bounty hunters and exotic aliens, found in the STAR WARS universe.”
—Lucy Autrey Wilson, Director of Publishing at Lucas Licensing
“One of Science Fiction’s best and most unique talents—
an artist whose extraordinary gift for visualization makes the outre and the unimaginable real enough to touch.”
—C. J. Cherryh
