Introduction

Boris Vallejo, April 2005.Boris Vallejo (born January 8, 1941) is a Peruvian-born American painter. He immigrated to the United States in 1964, and he currently resides in Allentown, Pennsylvania. He frequently works with Julie Bell, his wife, painter, and model.

Vallejo works almost exclusively in the fantasy and erotica genres. His hyper-representational paintings have graced the covers of dozens of science fiction paperbacks and are featured in a series of best-selling glossy calendars. Subjects of his paintings are typically Sword and sorcery gods, monsters, and well-muscled male and female barbarians engaged in battle. Some of his male figures were modeled by Vallejo himself, and many of his later female characters were modeled by his wife. His latest works still retain heavy fantasy elements, but lean more towards the erotic rather than pure fantasy themes.

  [UPDATE]   The artwork for the Czech Wales Edition of Captive of Gor is based upon a painting entitled "Against The Odds", while the painting for Part 1 of the Czech United Fans Edition of Nomads of Gor is entitled "The Maker Of Universes".

Still need to find the original artwork for Raiders of Gor. If you can help, let us know.
