My Favorite Fantasy artist has to be

Julie Bell

Julie Wings

In my opinion she is one of the new MASTERS of art. Julie's illustration style is partially the result of her understanding and appreciation of the human physique. Before her career as an artist, Julie was a nationally ranked NPC body builder for many years. She has been weight training for the past decade.
Julie Bell was born in Beaumont, Texas, and her art studies always focused on drawing, especially of the human figure. In few years she has established herself as a force to be reckoned with, rubbing elbows with the top luminaries of the art world.

Julie Bell met Boris Valejo in 1989, and later married him. She recalls: "Boris taught me the painting and the technical parts. He taught me to trust myself when I paint. You almost have to fall in love with your painting."

Her wonderful paintings appeared frequently in calendars, on covers of Heavy Metal, in comic magazines and also in games and trading card sets. Her paintings, with her voluptuous, metallic characters, are full with action, which may be a fight-to-the-death battle or a seemingly innocent look of a beautiful woman.
Here are some of my favorite pieces that I own from Julie's collection.
