Terrific pics, as always. The vibrant colors up front, against the "faded" colors in the background very effectively create depth in each pin-up.
I'm a big fan of World War II aircraft nose-art. The circus version of these pin-ups beautifully evokes the nostalgic feel of that era. Plus, details like the lock of hair draped over the left breast validate the care you take with your work and make the image more than a "stock" pin-up.
Thanks for sharing.
The top pin-up makes me think of how many acts Brigitte would/could get in trouble in during a Circe De Soleil show (c:

Thanks.
In recent years, I've become more aware of how important "back lighting" can be, especially when coloring a single pin-up, in which the subject really needs to stand out. It's fun to play around with colors and tones in Photoshop until you get the perfect blend for a stark contrast effect.

You may have given me an idea for a Brigitte episode there, my friend! :)
Thanks guys!

James, I had to laugh a little at your comments in the "About Me" section. Two thoughts occurred: 1) I'm awfully glad that you settled on drawing XXX comics and 2) I do wonder how exciting Wonder Woman might have been drawn by you!
Thanks, please keep up the OUTSTANDING work.
Thanks, David.
Initially, I was going to write a long bio in the "about me" section but I decided to make it short & sweet and tongue-in-cheek. :)
In reality, drawing adult/porn comics was a choice, mostly brought on after reading - and being blown away by - the first "Druuna" adventure by Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri back in the mid-80's.

The girl in the second pic looks like she's pregnant.
Maybe she is. ;)

Man you are simply on of the best pin-up artists around, and that's coming from another artist saying so. I always have been a fan of your work, don't stop, ever!
Thank you, BCD.
I'm not planning on stopping any time soon... In fact, I'm just getting warmed up! ;)

AH, Druuna. I remember well talking my mom into buying me a copy of HEAVY METAL (only showed her the cover) and my first exposure to Druuna. What a perfect mixture of sex and horror which hasn't been matched until CARNAL TALES (c:
My first exposure to Druuna was also in an issue of Heavy Metal (maybe the same one as yours???). I still have that issue, but I eventually got the entire run in hardcover, European
editions (in French.) I love it. It's a very cool, creepy, & sexy saga.
