Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The perennial fantasy favorite features thirteen all-new paintings from the husband-and-wife team of Boris Vallejo, America's premier fantasy artist, and Julie Bell, designer of the popular Dragons of Destiny sculpture series. Enter a world of mythical beasts, fearsome monsters, and dreamy landscapes conjured from the far reaches of the imagination. And captivating women, rendered with exquisite anatomical detail: A huntress aims with lethal accuracy. A goddess, hair flowing, leaps above the waves. Plus warrior women, enchantresses, fairies, and sensual maidens, all alive with passion and intensity. An original fantasy narrative by C. J. Henderson, author of the Teddy London series, weaves the paintings together.

This is not a review of the 2008 calender because, frankly, I didn't buy after last year's. Like the other reviewer who complained of the way the pictures had been placed, I, too, find it annoying and disruptive to the art. But honestly, I haven't been happy with the Boris calender since 1995, when it switched from mythology to fantasy. Over the years, I've found that the stories that caption the art don't really fit and oftentimes don't make sense to me. And although I have nothing against Julie Bell personally, her artwork, although superficially similar in style, isn't the same as Boris's; it's lighter and not as richly textured. If Boris, and Julie too if she must, ever go back to their mythological paintings for the calender, I will buy it again. But not until then.

This calendar falls short of previous work done by Vallejo and Bell. I am accustomed to seeing more detail and definition in the subjects. More color, just more - where this one is less.

This is a great calendar for any fan of fantasy art. Boris and Julie are two of the best for a reason.

As always the art of Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell takes you away to the place your imagination can only go... A great calendar for the fantasy fan!
