Fan Comments

Barbara Gipson had a gift for creating incredibly realistic images which looked almost like snapshots of everyday life, but in a way that exuded a magical aura. She gave us intimate moments which were vignettes within themselves - you could almost read a story within the lines she drew...and what stories they were.... ^[1]

There is Barbara Gipson, whose use of light and shadow is incredible, bringing a wonderful life and realism to her pencil illustrations of warm, intimate moments. ^[2]

Barbara Gipson is FANTASTIC, and I am thrilled to now own post card prints of pictures I had never seen before. WOW!!! Some pictures I have from zines but when I saw the catalog you sent, I could not hold back and ordered the photos of the prints. All I can do is recommend these wonderful pieces to everyone.
And to Barbara Gipson - you left me speechless with you most generous gifts. I think I must have looked over your prints about 10 times already. Your art is a great boost to fandom. You give us old scenes to remember, and new scenes that SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED and never did. Some of the pictures are explosive! ^[3]
