OT Bodybuilding Art

[Dad]

Maybe some of you remember this.

The was a guy in the 80's who used to do bodybuilding art. He did posters and T-shirts, but I can't recall his exact name - something like T.J. Michaels. He used to have ads in Muscle and Fitness magazine.

The posters were really something - mostly black and white drawings, giant bodybuilders with things like lions in the backgound, and sayings on them like: "Bodybuilders, the Few, the Proud, the Great."

Anyone recall these?
Know if they're still availale?

That sounds really cool.

Would be awesome to get something totally unique made. I would imagine
he would be quite popular if he was very good.

not familiar with the guy you mentioned. borris used bodybuilders as models for his bad-ass art. he married juley moon who was both a body builder and artist herself.
