What
is a fanlisting?
A fanlisting is a place for all fans of a particular show,
movie, actor/actress, singer, etc. to come together and build
the biggest listing of people from all around the world who
are fans of that subject. For more info on fanlistings, go

Fanlistings.org.
Who
is Boris?
This
particular fanlisting is for those who are fans of fantasy
artist Boris Vallejo, whose work has graced many a book, magazine
and calendar over the last 30+ years.
I
first became a fan of his work in the 80's, when I saw an
exhibit by him at a sci-fi convention. His work usually evolves
in themes. One year, he depicted the various gods and goddesses
of Greek legend, the next he visualized the signs of the zodiac.
In more recent years, he's brought a more traditional sci-fi
influence into his work, with the inclusion of spaceships,
robots and laser guns.
I've
also appreciated his more realistic impressions of women on
canvas. Most fantasy artists depict these big-breasted, small-waisted,
implausibly fake stereotypes. Vallejo's women have curves,
but they're more in proportion to the overall body. Some of
his drawings even feature women with a little weight to them.
Yet, these women all look beautiful.
