| Uhura's Song (1984) |

| The Ultimate Sin (1985) |
 |
Record/CD cover |
Artwork for Ozzy Osbourne's album The Ultimate Sin (CBS/Epic 1986.) |
| Ultra Warrior (1992) |
 |
BJ.41 |
This was used to promote the movie Ultra Warrior. The film was released in March 1990 and the video release was December 1992: since the artwork is also dated 1992 I assume it was painted to advertise the latter event. |
| Unbridled Adventure (BJ) |
 |
2023-Aug |
A private commission, this painting was posted on Julie Bell's Instagram account with the title Crystal Oasis. It has since been used for the month of August in the 2023 Fantasy Calendar but with the title Unbridled Adventure.
Although it is undated the artwork was completed in 2021.
|
| Uncaged Beauty (2020) |
 |
2022.Jan |
A painting from the 2022 Fantasy Calendar wherein it was used fro the month of January. In the absence of any information to the contrary I assume it was painted for this purpose. |
| Unconstrained (2012) |
 |
2014-Cen |
Boris began painting this for his personal enjoyment (he loves to paint.) Julie Bell posted it on Facebook and periodically showed it at various stages of completion from which it could be seen that it was originally a nude.
What I thought was the finished version appeared in Dreamland as I Dream of Flying, the assumption being that the opaque clothing and wind-blown hair had been added digitally, as is the case with many other calendar illustrations, for the sake of modesty. However, neither the original or calendar versions are signed whereas the version shown here is. This leads me to believe that all amendments are real and that this is indeed the final version of the painting.
|

 |

The product itself is a herbal, digestif bitter made by the swiss company Underberg AG.

| Underworld Gig (2006) (BJ) |
 |
Dland.176 |
An active, humourous, portrait of the comedy rock duo Tenacious D.
According to Julie Bell's Instagram account this was commissioned for an article about the group in the December 2006 edition of the magazine Maxim, thereby giving rise to one of its alternative titles.

 |
2022.Centre |
Originally appearing on Boris and Julie's website borisjulie.com under the title Upside Down I surmised that it might be intended for the 2022 Fantasy Calendar. This has since proved to be correct when it was used for the centrepiece under the new title Step into the Unknown. |

 |
|
Cover art for the December 1985 edition of National Lampoon. The cover of this edition was included in the National Lampoon trading card set (21st Century Archives, 1993.)
The male figure looks a lot like Sylvester Stallone so the painting may be a parody of the Rocky movies.
