When you say speculative fiction art,
most people, even fans, tend to think of 2D art -- flat
paintings and drawings that can be used for book covers
and as story illustrations. Vincent Villafranca's
speculative fiction art is different, very different.
Vincent first sculpts 3D science fiction and fantasy art
pieces in wax and then casts the pieces in bronze. Wow!
Fine art meets speculative fiction. And most of
Vincent's pieces tell their own stories rather than just
illustrating somebody else's work.
We first saw Vincent Villafranca's sculpture in the
ConDFW art show. We were blown away. That was about two
years ago and Vincent's sculpture has gotten better
since then. Now he is branching out into 2D acrylic on
canvas paintings. Double Wow! Add to this information to
the fact that Vincent is a very personable, unassuming
man and you can understand why we were so impressed by
this Sculptor and his art.
4 Star Stories is excited to present the work of Vincent
Villafranca, our first Guest Artist.

"I sculpted the original [astro]'naut
about a year ago. I molded it to make wax copies, which
are then modified and customized with various weapons
and equipment. They end up being about four inches or
so."
-- Vincent Villafranca
