Julie Strain by Simon Bisley 🔥
Simon Bisley and Julie Strain’s collaboration was one of the most iconic creative partnerships in Heavy Metal culture during the late 1990s. While Bisley was the painter and Strain the model and actress, she served as the physical inspiration for many of his female characters.
During that period, Julie Strain was probably the model Bisley painted more than any other.
Her athletic physique and commanding presence perfectly matched the kind of heroines Bisley had been developing for years—powerful, sensual, warrior women influenced by Frank Frazetta and Richard Corben.
Many of the paintings that fans simply recognize as “a Bisley woman” are, in fact, direct portrayals of Julie Strain.
