Bauman
and Ellison:
Jill Bauman is the unofficial "Queen of the Horror Artists" whose
work has been featured on and within many HE publications. In the clipping
to the left there, Harlan calls here "just about the best big-time hardcover
and paperback cover artist in New York." He also had this to say about
her:
The Bauman: respects the written word; has a compelling sense of spatial relationships; ideates with a puckish sense of imagination; has a sweet sense of art history so if you say "Feininger" or "Corot", she doesn't look at you like someone who works the grill at McDonald's; understands the color specturm; is far too polite to sleazy publishers, inept editors, egomaniacal art directors and pig-faced writers who try to put the make on her. She's extremely neat, very clean, dresses well, and never mentions god or richard nixon. If you see her, ask her please to return my hedge clippers.

Ellison-Related Art by Jill Bauman"The Bauman" was good enough to send me a whole mess of art from various HE publications. I'm afraid I can't do justice to the brilliant colors and detail of the work I saw with the limited space I have, but nevertheless I'll give it a shot. These pictures will look best if you have your monitor set to at least 64,000 simultaneous colors.. All Artwork accessible from this page is Copyright 1997 Jill
Bauman The Deathbird Stories ArtThe next six pieces all appeared in the 1990 Easton Press edition of

by many to be his best. All six pieces copyright 1990 Jill Bauman. Other Art All Artwork accessible from this page is Copyright 1997 Jill
