    Boris and Julie have a new compilation book out. I think it has a greater variety than their "Ultimate Collection". It has a greater variety of female faces in re-occuring themes.

    Julie Bell has to be my ideal woman – beautiful, muscular, and an incredibly talented artist!

    I don't know about now, but she has definitely competed in the past. Also, there's a lot of awesome photos of her in Boris's photography book, "Bodies".

    In the Nineties, when Vallejo was putting out those Mythology calendars solo and had started using more fitness models and female bodybuilders for reference, I remember this teenager in the comics shop (who was busy yanking a non-comics-related arcade game across the store by the joystick, not perusing comics, mind you) talking to his buddy (at the top of his impressive lungs): "THAT GUY BORIS DRAWS FOINE* WOMEN!

    Boris and Julie used to hang out at New jersey shows in the late 80's early 90's. I once tried unwittingly to pick her up when she was having car trouble but her 'boyfriend was going to be there soon.' It was at the night show I found out who I was hitting on. If you were in the area and went to the shows you would have recognized a lot of the heros, male and female, in the painting.
