Introduction to ArtFantastix

The ultimate reference for Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell's artwork.

ArtFantastix catalogues over two thousand individual works of art by Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell. Each artwork is annotated with relevant information and where that piece was published. For your convenience links have been provided to take you back and forth between the paintings and publications allowing swift lookup and review. In addition both artists biographies can be found in the Features page, alongside an illustrated guide to their painting technique.

The images within this website were largely scanned from my personal library of Boris and Julie's publications, recently however, due to financial constraints, I have ceased adding to my collection. Instead I now use vendors images sourced from the internet, employing various techniques to process them so that they closely match the originals, these images are marked with an {R} symbol to denote where this has been done.

Boris's' paintings have been published in various formats since the mid 1960's and Julies art since the late 1990's sometimes in obscure publications or private commissions, therefore this collection can never be complete. Over the years I have searched high and low in a bid to discover long lost images by both artists, adding them to a collection that now exceeds over two thousand unique images.

I open up this collection to fellow collectors or those wishing to learn more about the artists themselves. You are free to download any of the images on this site. I remind you that signed high quality prints are available in various sizes from Boris and Julies official website.

How it started

Many years ago, I came across Hercules Gunter's website Borisigraphy, now under the new managment of Bernard Rogers, it's well worth a visit since it's fresh update. This site introduced me to the artwork of Boris Vallejo. So astounded was I by Boris' fantastic skill and imagination that I began to download as many of his images that could be found. Sometime later I started a collection of books, calendar’s, posters, CD Roms, in fact every form of media containing his fantasy art. Over the years this collection has grown into quite a considerable size, containing thousands of images, that have been digitally scanned to form the Paintings and Publications pages. The images within these pages can be enlarged and are free to download.

Hopefully, you will be amazed by how much content there is here, and there will be a few surprise images, even for long time Boris/Julie fans. Occasionally an unknown painting (usually one of Boris' early works) will re-surface. When this happens it will be added here. My intention for the future is to keep the site growing, adding new content as both artists continue to astound us with beautiful, imaginative fresh works of art.
