8.5"x11" paperback with 36 pages featuring a collection of pin-ups in full-color. If you like the work of Mel Ramos, or just drawings of cute little women then this title is for you!

They were kind enough to be my muses for some of the pieces in the book.

So if you've got some spare coin burning a hole in your pocket and you want to get a nifty little book of art head on over to Lulu.com, grab a copy and enjoy!

WHERE TO BEGIN...

When I start shading a piece sometimes I'll scan in the lineart and print out a few smaller copies to try stuff out like lighting, shading, negative and positive space all the neat artsy-fartsy junk that can make or break a shot. I'm no expert-blindly stabbing at the board until something starts to form that somewhat resembles the image I have in my head of what the finished piece should look like.

Mostly I fail.

Sometimes though I get lucky. This is some work for a commission that I was happy with on my first pass. That's usually not the case so score one for the hacks!

BOOGA-BOOGA-BOOGA!!!

It's not Halloween yet, is it?

Ah well, here's the chicken-scratch that is her majesty the Goblyn Queen Madelyne Pryor. I started inking it before I remembered to scan in the "process" so I guess it's more of a WIP.

Marc Silvestri drew the hottest demon possessed chicks, didn't he?
