CHRISTOS ACHILLEOS (pronounced Ackillayos) was born in Cyprus in 1947. He came to England in 1960 and by 1968 he had his first published work - The Moon Flight Atlas , written by Patrick Moore to accompany the first American space mission. Since then Chris has gone from strength to strength, and is now widely regarded as one of the leading fantasy artists in the world. “My bread and butter work for many years has been book covers — mainly fantasy and a bit of science fiction. A slice of this novel action includes Dr Who, Star Trek, Gor, and the Clint Eastwood Dollar series. His extensive portfolio also includes work for Men Only magazine — “The sexy girl stuff I don't do any more. It was good while it lasted. You get so much freedom and I enjoy painting pretty girls anyway.” — record sleeves (like Whitesnake's Lovehunter), video covers (Protector and Marine Issue to name but two) and film posters (perhaps most notably for the 1980 animated version of Heavy Metal comic - to which he's contributed in his time). “Doing film posters is very difficult. I don't know if it's worth doing them any more. I've certainly done more than were used.” His involvment with the film industry runs deeper still, as he was responsible for designing all the costumes for George Lucas' fantasy flick Willow.
CHRIS ACHILLEOS has been responsible lor some of the finest SF and fantasy illustrations.
