Despite recounting his own journey to the Underworld in his Inferno, artist Wayne Barlowe—American Book Award and Hugo nominee, character designer for Galaxy Quest, Hellboy, Avatar, and other films—was unable to fully exorcise the terrible sights from his mind. In Brushfire he continues the explorations first undertaken in Inferno, presenting unique studies of some of the most significant entities and places encountered during his sojourn in Hell. \nWith brief written introductions and paintings in full color, Barlowe introduces readers to Hell's terrible figures, with portraits of the demons Sargatanas, Baron Faraii, and the Decurion. He watches flies terrifyingly assemble into Prince Beelzebub, and resists the perverse sensuality of a pelvic-spiked succubus. He encounters the great general Hannibal Barca and the Daughters of Lucifer cult, and visits Mount Grigori, the flesh-and-bone monastery of Azazel, and the enormous stables of Yen Wang. Barlowe's vivid, richly detailed renderings present the inhumanly contorted bodies, the dark and fiery Hellscape, and the disconcerting details of his own harrowing experience touring the land of the damned. \n\"Many people think of Hell as a place for the dead,\" writes Barlowe. \"They are sorely wrong. Hell is very much alive.\" In these exquisitely disquieting pages the essential truth of his statement grows ever more vibrant.\n\nPraise for Wayne Barlowe's Inferno: \n\"Wayne Barlowe's Inferno is an awesome visual work, taking us into a contorted landscape of the damned which Dante himself could never have imagined.\" —Director James Cameron (Titanic) \n\n\"Wayne Barlowe's Inferno is a dangerous book. Human nightmares rear out of scale in this sulphurous landscape. Here every breath burns your insides and light flickers in perpetual agony. The Beast has found an architect. —Director Guillermo Del Toro (Chronos \u0026amp; Mimic) \n\n\"A treasury of superlative art  . . . This book is dynamite.\" —Tanith Lee \n\n\"Wayne Barlowe conjures the Inferno with Boschian particularity. This is a unique volume by an extraordinary artist.\" —Clive Baker \n\n\"One scents flavors and tinctures not only of Gustave Doré and John Martin, but also of Klimt, Blake, and even Turner at his most savage. However, the paintings are unique to themselves and demonstrate the artist at his most sublime—and terrifying.\" —Tanith Lee","brand":"EP","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ NEW","offer_id":45834071507117,"sku":"EP9781648374371NW","price":75.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback \/ VERY GOOD","offer_id":45834071539885,"sku":"EP9781648374371VG","price":75.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Paperback \/ GOOD","offer_id":45834071572653,"sku":"EP9781648374371GD","price":75.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Paperback \/ LIKE NEW","offer_id":45834071605421,"sku":"EP9781648374371LN","price":75.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Paperback \/ ACCEPTABLE","offer_id":45834071638189,"sku":"EP9781648374371AC","price":75.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0700\/9134\/1997\/files\/51FRazdUnkL.jpg?v=1773939936","url":"https:\/\/www.echopointbooks.com\/products\/brushfire-illuminations-from-the-inferno","provider":"Echo Point Books \u0026 Media","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
