\"Pin<\/p>\n

By Aslan<\/strong> (Editions Carrere)
\nISBN: 2-86804-000-4<\/p>\n

This is just unashamed abuse of power on my part –\u00c2\u00a0and call me sexist if you want –\u00c2\u00a0but the pin-up and the fabulous female have been a part of comics and narrative art since the earliest of days, and the incredible paintings of Alain Gourdon, (also widely known for his sculptures in his native France) who uses the nom-de-plume ‘Aslan’ are both incredibly vivid and effective, but also often have a fantastic or secretive element of mystery to them that make them a joy to behold no matter what your sexual orientation might be.<\/p>\n

This volume (sadly only available in French as far as I know) reproduces 110 of his best works – plus an illustrated playing card set he designed – from his sixty-year career, many of them from the magazine Lui where he was a regular contributor from 1964 to the early 1980s.<\/p>\n

Stunning, eye-catching and magical (as long as you’re old enough) any aspiring artist could learn volumes from this book.<\/p>\n
