Dana Linn Bailey wins 1st Physique Olympia

Bodybuilding's attempt for women to get back to the "classic 70 & 80's look" hit center stage at the 2013 Olympia. The new Women's Physique Division has been gaining popularity over the last year with many female bodybuilders sizing down to compete.

A big congratulations to Dana Linn Bailey and the other competitors. We'll see in the next fews years if this becomes the top level competition for women as the larger size is dying out.

Ms Olympia 2013

So who's gonna win it this year? A look at the 2013 Ms. Olympia contestants through the eyes of Area Orion.

Morph to Real

Some may have noticed Cindy Landolt has grown in the last few months. The Swiss beauty asked me last year to create a few breast expansion (BE) morphs to see how she would look with breasts. She carefully weighed her options and decided to go through with the procedure.

Cindy has recently unveiled her new busty uber-goddess look and all I can say is… you're welcome world.

Artist Spotlight on Joe Jusko

Joe Jusko is among the top Fantasy, Pin-up and Comic artists in the world. He is known for his realistic and highly detailed paintings in and out of the comic book industry.

Joe was born on September 1, 1959 on the lower east side of New York City. He began drawing early in life, inspired by his brother and a love of comic books. He drew constantly, saying "All my friends were out playing baseball and football, but I just couldn't keep from drawing." He was accepted into the prestigious High School of Art & Design in NYC, the only high school in the country focused on careers in commercial art. By graduation his work showed professionalism, polish and he won the DC Comics Award of Excellence in Cartooning.

Instead of College, Joe began a five month apprenticeship with artist Howard Chaykin. This led the 18 year old to selling his first painted cover to Heavy Metal Magazine. "I would have given them the cover to print", laughs Jusko, "but I gladly accepted the $250.00 they paid me!" After a few more covers, he gained the courage to contact Marvel Comics. They gave him a shot which started a relationship that lasts to this day.

in the early days, there wasn't enough of work to support Jusko as a full time artist. For several years, he worked as a NYC Police Officer in the South Bronx. He loved it and while the diversity and action was exhilarating, he ultimately knew that art was his true calling. After that, his career began to take off.

Jusko went on to create hundreds of images for almost every major comic book publisher. His work has appeared on book covers, calendars, posters, t-shirts and toy packaging. He also worked with ad agencies on storyboards and campaigns such as the WWF's Wrestlemania VII. He had a long run as cover artist for The Savage Sword of Conan and has painted every major Marvel character. With his multi-award winning paintings for the Marvel Masterpieces Trading Cards, Jusko has been credited with starting a trading card boom in the 1990's. This led to his groundbreaking and prolific art of Edgar Rice Burroughs, creating art based on every major book by the famed author.

Jusko has earned countless awards and honors and continues to work. His recent graphic novel, based on Lara Croft, won a Certificate of Merit from the prestigious Society of Illustrators. His original paintings are held in collections worldwide and the book "Art of Joe Jusko" was released in 2009 to rave reviews. He says, "When I consider where I come from, and how few people actually get to live their childhood dream in their adult life, I feel nothing if not fortunate and very, very blessed."

Melissa Wee Transformation

Here’s the amazing transformation of Melissa Sarah Wee. She says, “I was overweight for more than half my life. My insecurities and sense of worthlessness took root as a teenager. I was brought up in an elite all-girls school which was one of the top five in the country. There was a significant amount of stress on my shoulders and my environment was very competitive.”

Is Georgina McConnell the world's best teenage female bodybuilder?

Her taut, tight waist tapers up to a vast V-shaped muscular back, lats like wings, every muscle hard and defined give way to bulging, almost impossibly striated delts and the big beautiful curves of her biceps and triceps.
