From the Back Cover
WORLDS OF ENCHANTMENT

Dragons rise from subterranean depths. Mists swirl over the land. Forces clash. Fates are settled—with grimacing finality—at swordpoint. Sprung from the imagination, yet rendered with anatomical clarity and a masterful detail, here is a dramatic place of nightmare and beauty created through the soaring vision of husband-and-wife fantasy artists Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell. A beguiling philosopher-witch breaks free from her icy prison. A goddess and a serpent tangle under the water. A fire-breathing beast emerges from the abyss. A sensuous mermaid rests in a serene cove. Talons curl, tendons flex, and out of the eye, a gleam of shuddering intensity. Thirteen all-new paintings herald the year. Weaving the images together is the engrossing original story "The Games of Nod," by C.J Henderson

Customer Reviews

Artwork cut up & made ugly / unusable in previous year
I have been getting the calendar regliously for over 10 years. Last year I got one and was both shocked and dismayed that they placed the picture over the fold, so it was partially on the calendar date side. It looked terrible and made it impossible for me to do what I normally do, which is cut out the pictures and frame the nice ones after the year is over. Because of this, I will no longer buy thier calendars. Since they are sealed or only available online, there is no way to tell if they did this again. I'm sorry to see such a great calendar, that always had new, original art (something that can't me said for 95% of other calendars) that I looked forward to every year, destroy the art of the artist. I hope they take my advice and stop cutting the pictures off at the 75% mark. I can say with confidence I will never buy one again unless I can be certain this is not being done again.

The Ultimate Fantasy Calendar
I purchase this calendar every year. Their art work is amazing and from researching, these calendars sometimes increase in value as collectors items.

Absolutely Gorgeous!!!
This is my first Boris-Julie purchase, but it certainly won't be the last. This calendar is beyond beautiful. The women are powerful, sensual, curvy and strong, the men are mythic in strength and physical beauty, and the background and creatures are out of this world. Amazing colours and breath-taking details. This calendar is a must for the fantasy lover or simply anyone who adores the human form. My only suggestion would be to include the full and new moon dates on the calendar, but otherwise this is perfect. I will definitely order one for my next year's calendar as well. Keep up the masterful work, Boris and Julie! Mazel tov!
