Boris Vallejo has been publishing beautiful fantasy art calendars for several decades: I've bought one each year for the last twenty years (starting in 1995) and I believe he published several as far back as the eighties. Often there is a unifying theme or narrative to the collections in a calendar, sometimes with accompanying text from a master of written fantasy such as Philip Jose Farmer (1995) or C.J. Henderson (2002).For the past decade and a half these calendars have been joint productions between Boris and his present wife, Julie Bell. Indeed, they are often family productions: Julie's son Anthony Palumbo is one of the authors of the story text linking the paintings in a previous calendar, and the last few calendars including this 2015 one have had protrait photgraphs on the back cover of artists Boris and Julie taken by Boris's daughter Maya Vallejo who is a professional photographer.This 2015 calendar comes with instructions and a download code, active any time from 1st January to 31st December 2015, to install a free digital page-a-day calendar on your PC. The wall calendar itself contains thirteen exceptionally lovely images (one for each month and a double spread between June and July) with the following titles:January: "Mother Earth" (a beautiful woman watches a baby dragon hatching from the egg)February: "Final Defeat"March: "Facade"April: "The Consortium" (Mother earth comes before a parliament of dragons)May: "The first lesson"June: "Sojourn" (detail from this painting also shown on the cover - above left)Centre spread: "Liberation"July: "Role Reversal" (Text reads "Under my tutelage, even the most fearsome beasts become gentle and tame.
