A look at the Works of Beau and Alan Daniels

written by Houke de Kwant on December 20, 2016

Today we take a look at some of the works of Beau and Alan Daniels, who started to make a living with the Young Artist agency, now Quantum Artists in London, mostly science fiction illustration. They had tremendous publishing contacts, but no one would give them a break in England until they got the cover of Anarchistic colossus. The American publisher took a chance with them and that helped with the English publishers.

Beau and Alan Daniels: We always do the best work we can; even if as sometimes happens you have underestimated the complexity of the illustration. Sometimes from your own fault, sometimes just misunderstanding and sometimes the client not quite telling the truth at the onset. The latter reason is easier to rectify in that we will ask for a budget increase if we have not been given correct information up front. Once you have committed to a job, the money no longer matters. we try to get something creative wise out of every job we do.
