BARLOWE, Wayne Douglas

BARLOWE, Wayne Douglas
(1958-)
   US illustrator whose successful Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials (1979), in collaboration with Ian Summers (who wrote the text), was published when he was 21, only two years after he had made his first sale, a cover for Cosmos. The book featured WDB's excellent paintings of many of sf's best-known ALIENS. The son of natural-history artists Sy and Dorothea Barlowe, WDB has a talent for creating believable surface textures, important in creating aliens - his attention to detail is reminiscent of Wyeth and Pyle. He works in acrylics and has done book covers, also magazine covers for ASF and IASFM, to whose ex-editor, Shawna MCCARTHY, he is married. Expedition: Being an Account in Words and Artwork of the 2358 A.D. Voyage to Darwin IV (1990), written and illustrated by WDB, is an interesting work of speculative XENOBIOLOGY, illustrating and describing the physiology of lifeforms on an imaginary planet.
