Farewell, Leo Dillon
If you read the 1970s Pyramid paperback editions of Harlan Ellison, not to mention a whole lot of other books and record albums over most of the past fifty years, you knew the art of Leo and Diane Dillon.
Great sadness, as Leo Dillon passed away earlier this week at the age of 79. Our condolences to his companion and collaborator, Diane, and their family and friends.
For a reminder of how astounding and beautiful their work was, check out this blog archive.
Who are your favorite fantasy illustrators? (To differentiate from 19th- and early-20th-century illustrators such as Arthur Rackham, John Tenniel, and John R. Neill, and from graphic novels.) I'll never get tired of Bob Eggleton, Michael Whelan, and Olivia de Berardinis, but I have soft spots in my heart for Don Maitz, Stephen Hickman, and of course our darlings dhstein, hbruton, and ursulav. (And I know there are others who hang out here, and my brain SIMPLY ISN'T WORKING today, so remind me and send links our way so we can oooh and ahhh.)
