2024 August 17
Sorry for the long delay since the last update. This update has been prompted by my receipt of the
2025 Fantasy Calendar. In addition I have updated the
Preliminary Artwork page with a number of new entries. In addition I've also incorporated numerous minor amendments that have been accumulating over the last 2 months. I still have more alterations to make so hopefully I can do these in the next couple of weeks.
2024 May 18
Added
Eagle to the preliminary art page and also corrected an error, which I'd just noticed, with
The Dragon and the George 2 on the same page. Also did the usual minor updates etc.
2024 April 13
2024 March 23
Removed the entries for Futuristic NYC View and The Trellisane Confrontation: both had been offered for sale as Boris works but such attribution has since been removed.
2024 March 23
2024 March 16
2024 March 02
No major changes made, just the usual housekeeping work of updating some thumbnails.
2024 Febuary 17
2024 January 20
Made a few minor amendments and corrections but also found that I had, on 19 August 2023, accidentally added a new page that I had been working on: it's not complete yet but you can find it
here. Expect additions to this page in the future.
2023 December 30
2023 November 11
2023 November 04
Just a few minor updates (thumbnails etc)
2023 September 23
As well as a few amendments I've also added two new artworks: an as yet
untitled painting completed this year and, for all you lovers of everything to do with Edgar Rice Burroughs, a new found drawing of
Dejah Thoris.
2023 September 02
2023 August 26
A number of pages and thumbnails have been amended but apart from that no major changes made.
2023 August 19
2023 July 15
2023 July 08
Apart from the usual minor updates, I've realised that the
Buffy & Angel painting exists in two versiona so have added
Buffy the Vampire Slayer to the index. On a related note, I've also added it to the
Limited Editions page.
2023 June 17
My apologies to anyone who has been checking these pages since February hoping for more updates. I have been busy with other projects since then but have produced, without posting, a number of minor updates in that period. I have now added a few more index entries
I thought I had already posted the new painting
The Rose and that oversight has now been corrected.
Details of the
2024 Fantasy Calendar were released a couple of months ago and my provisional calendar page can be seen
here. The link will be added to the calendar index once I have complete details of all the paintings.
2023 February 11
Added a page for trading cards for 2006 showing details of the
World of Warcraft TCG set.
Although I did not provide update details at the time, on 28 January I added a new image at
Gladiator.
2022 October 29
Apart from the usual minor updates I've added a new painting
Equanimity from Boris & Julie.
I have now received my
2023 Fantasy Calendar and updated the page with the centrepiece details but I have yet to include the correct painting.
2022 October 01
Only a few, minor, updates this week. I hope to post more extensive updates next month.
2022 September 23
Sorry to those, if any, who have been checking weekly for the next update –
I have been busy with other projects. This week's changes are:
1. I have finally got full details of the
Verkerke 1980
Boris's Heroes calendar – thanks
Geoneasha.
2. I have added two more images to the provisional
2023 Fantasy Calendar – I just need the centrepiece details now. For some reason the calendar has been published much later than usual and although it is now available in USA it is not due to be published in UK for another month.
2. I've done the usual website housekeeping, updating a few thumbnails and amending some index pages as more information becomes available.
2022 July 30
Only a few changes since last time: apart from updating a few thumbnails I've also added the preliminary artwork for
The High Couch of Silistra to the preliminary artwork page.
2022 July 16
2022 July 02
Although not yet resolved my technical problems have been considerably eased so that I am now able to resume updating the site.
As well as the usual minor corrections and a few updated thumbnails I have now got a title for the previously untitled
Axeman painting and also added the paintings
Cosmic Entanglement and
The Great Escape, all three of which will be appearing in next year's calendar.
2022 June 11
2022 April 09
My continuing apologies for the lack of updates caused by a combination of circumstances, some of which are ongoing so I don't expect to do another update before the end of the month.
Apart from the usual minor updates and corrections I've:
1. Added the
Colophon page.
2. Updated the
Preliminary Artwork page to include
Of Men and Monsters.
3. Added Boris' and Julie's, as yet untitled, latest artwork to the index as
Looking for trouble (my working title!)
2022 February 26
My apologies for the lack of updates recently due to illness and the subsequent need to deal with other outstanding work.
Apart from the usual minor updates and corrections I've added the untitled 1978
warrior woman painting to the index and updated the
Preliminary Art page to include the artwork for
The Ginger Star.
2022 January 22
Finally got round to adding the final three
Nike images into the index and also added the 2012
Conan and Girl drawing.
I've managed to find images of a few more
Hyborian Gates cards and have updated the page accordingly.
2022 January 15
I have added a page in the Miscellaneous section for the Chess King paintings.
Updated the Marvel Masterpieces page regarding the identity of a previously unidentified painting.
2022 January 04
I have made a couple of cosmetic changes to the site:
1. I have removed the 'Under New Management' banner.
2. I have made the background image slightly less obtrusive. It is also based on an actual Boris signature rather than the stylised version that appears in several books.
3. I changed the homepage masthead. I wasn't able to clean up the original so determined to reconstruct it. I couldn't match the font used by Hercules but found several that were not too dissimilar and finally chose BorisBlackBloxx because of its name.
2021 December 23
Sorry about the disruption of my original update schedule - I hope to resume this early in the new year.
In the interim I have added two new Boris & Julie artworks to the index –
Together in the Cosmos and
Unstoppable – as well as updating a few thumbnails etc.
As this is the last update of the year may I, in these troubled times, take this opportunity to wish you all Happy Christmas and a Prosperous, Healthy New Year.
2021 November 13
My apologies for the lack of updates recently – I originally decided to take a break but ongoing health issues since then make it difficult to do additional work. I will resume updates as soon as I can but in the meantime I have managed to add in a few outstanding updates which include three new paintings:
Crystal Oasis,
Demonic Train and the untitled
'Axeman'.
2021 September 18
Apart from the usual amendments I've added a number of images from other pages not already in the index.
A count of the images in the index and Prelims pages comes to 1,400 paintings and drawings. On top of that there are 37 interior illustrations (see
Achilles' Choice,
Fight the Enemy and
Micronauts) and a larger number of minor sketches and drawings from the other books which brings the total to close to 1,500 Boris artworks.
2021 September 11
I've made a few amendments/corrections to the index pages and added a number of new entries, some from other pages but also about ten completely new images.
I'm continuing to review my collections to find other missing images for inclusion in the index etc.
2021 September 04
There were no updates last week because I was away from home (and also suffered a computer failure.)
The background changes have been completed and I have also added a few new images –
Butterflies,
Commandos,
Spirit of Nature and the untitled drawing
Girl with Dragon.
2021 August 21
I'm still working on background improvements which have also brought to light a couple of errors which I corrected
I've also managed to add a few more images to the index pages - mainly ones that appeared on othe pages though a couple are completely new to the site.
2021 August 14
Sorry for the apparent lack of updates – blame the Olympics (though I have been continuing the background updates too.)
Over the last few days I have added about 15 new images to the indices although some of them already appeared on other pages beforehand.
2021 July 24
Over the last few weeks I have been making some background changes to the website. Some of you may have noticed changes to the layout of a few pages but apart from this there would (probably) be no visible changes to the site.
Incidental to the changes, I have corrected a couple of errors resulting in four new entries in the indices but no new images have been added.
I have updated the
Best of Boris trading cards page to include the
Uncut Six-Card Strip and also uploaded new images for the
Spike: Heart & Soul subset (I used a scan of the uncut sheet so the images are now all of a consistent colour.)
2021 July 03
Once again, the usual amendments and a few additions to the index.
You may want to look at
Futuristic NYC View which, it appears. may not be a painting by Boris. I'm still looking into this but it does currently appear that it is by another artist.
2021 July 01
No major update this month but I have, at last, completed the page for
Sketchbook. Since many of the images therein do not appear anywhere else on the site, putting this page up did involve a lot of work. As a side-effect of the delay, I have also included 21 images that I didn't originally intend to post.
2021 June 26
Updated the
Preliminary Artwork page with a few more artworks and…
Added a few more new entries to the indices.
2021 June 19
Added the remaining Star Trek covers and a couple of new images
Made a few alterations and corrections to the index pages.
2021 June 12
I've continued adding more artworks to the indices which now total 1,200 different images. This, together with the drawings and sketches included on the
Preliminary Artwork page amounts to over 1,300 separate artworks. For those that are interested, that's more than 200 new images since 1 January.
2021 June 01
No major updates this month - with the current relaxations of some of the
Covid-19 restrictions I have been rather busy over the last month.
Less major changes are:
Obtained the remaining 2022 calendar image so added the 2022 Fantasy Calendar page and
I've started adding the Star Trek paintings - most of these are cover images, unfortunately, rather than the actual paintings.
The usual amendments and a couple of other additions to the indices.
2021 May 22
As usual, Iv'e made a number of amendments to the indices.
I have also added a number of new entries, most of which already appeared on the other non-index pages but also several new ones from the 2022 Fantasy Calendar. I will include the calendar page once I know what all the paintings are (I have all bar one!)
2021 May 08
No major changes, just a few corrections and additional entries for artworks that are already in the indices.
I am currently checking which artworks are missing from the index and when this is done I will start adding them.
2021 May 01
Despite the lack of postings on this page I have continued to make updates to the index pages.
I have now added the
Miscellaneous page. I should add that as well as expanding some of the pages I will also be adding new ones too over the next few months.
2021 April 10
Since I April I've been making a concerted effort to add in the, so far, undocumented images and work on this is continuing.
I have also updated a number of images and continued to make corrections/alterations where deemed necessary.
2021 April 03
Continued to add more images to the indices.
You may also care to note that the
Preliminary Artwork page contains about 100 additional images which do not appear in the indices. I have no plans to add them though most do appear elsewhere within the
Borisography.
2021 April 01
Monthly update: added the
Preliminary Artwork page.
Although I have not been posting details here I have nevertheless been working in the background amending, correcting and updating the indices.
2021 March 06
A few adjustments made to the indices but no new images added.
I forgot to mention, last week, that I added a page for the 1980
Boris's Heroes calendar by
Verkerke Reprodukties of The Netherlands.
2021 March 01
No weekly updates made for the last month due to my being busy on other projects. I have however made a couple of minor changes.

Indomitus Oriens,
Kiss of the Temptress and
Milkquarium.
2021 January 09
Apart from a few amendments I've continued to add more images to the index. I've also added a few brand new artworks but, unfortunately, I omitted to keep a record of their titles.
2021 January 01
Happy New Year to one and all!
I'm afraid that I'm still behind schedule with the book pages but these will definitely be completed for 1 February.
Apart from the additional book pages I have made numerous adjustments & amendments to the index pages as well as adding in more previously unindexed images. Currently, I need to index another 50 artworks that appear elsewhere in the site - this figure will increase as more and more pages are added to the site.
2020 December 26
I've managed to make the following updates:
I'm pleased to report that there are now over 1550 entries in the indices detailing more than 1100 individual artworks. The good news is that I still have several hundred more to add.

Sketchbook – I will endeavour to get it done by the 1 January update (if I don't get it done before then.)
