SWEET, Darrell

SWEET, Darrell
(1934-)
   US illustrator. His first sf/fantasy work was for BALLANTINE BOOKS, and when that publisher formed the new DEL REY BOOKS imprint in 1977 DS became their main cover artist, his ILLUSTRATION being strongly associated with their Jack L. CHALKER covers. His style works especially well with fantasy books: his delicate women emphasize their fantasy, and his earthy men give a sense of reality to unreal scenes. His colourful style is reminiscent, sometimes, of the PULP-MAGAZINE covers of the 1940s, especially his monsters. He works mainly with acrylics.
