Boris Vallejo was born in Lima, Peru, and attended the National School of Fine Arts there before arriving in the US in 1964. He has illustrated for album covers, video box art and motion picture advertising. He has an obvious mastery when it comes to oil painting. This kind of talent is only rivaled by a few special individuals. The technical aspect of his work is simply unequivocal. He has such a way of capturing the human and other forms, right down to the tiniest detail, and the backgrounds and settings he presents in his artwork are phenominal.

Julie Bell was born in Beaumont Texas, and her studies have centered around drawing, especially the human figure. Her unmistakable trademark is the 'metal flesh' encompassed in many of her works. This effect conveys both the hardness of steele and the sensual softness of the skin. It is truly a site to behold. Julie is a former body builder, and this is reflected in the themes of empowerment and independance displayed in her work. Her art has appeared in book form, calendars, posters, trading cards, as well as many other numerous types of media.
