SanJulian - Original Fantasy Illustration (undated)
SanJulian - Original Fantasy Illustration (undated). One of Europe's top artists, SanJulian began his career in a Spanish advertising agency, doing movie poster work for Twentieth-Century Fox. He eventually met Jim Warren, and rose to prominence among American artists for his breathtaking covers to Creepy, Eerie, and especially Vampirella, the character with whom he is most associated (his "Queen of Hearts" cover to Vampi #36 is still considered a classic). The piece offered here, with an image area of approximately 18.5" x 12.5", is fully rendered in grey tones that must be seen to be believed. There seems to be a small amount of paint loss, as though a more modest bikini top may once have covered this lovely lass, but this is barely noticeable upon casual inspection and does nothing to diminish the beauty of this stunning piece. Forcefully erotic, yet at the same time subtle and delicate, Sanjulian is truly an "artist's artist," whose work can, and should, be appreciated on a variety of levels. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
