Fun in the sun

A pox on this fall weather. Let's think back to warmer times (easier if in southern California, I suppose).

Artist unknown.

Fun, Natural Fun

Another long lost comrade, this time to robert crumb?

Of Winged Women

[Enlarge Here]

Apparently, a tribute to Phantom Core. I strongly suspect this is another instance of imitation outweighing original.

Wait in the water

Ahhh, summertime.

Uncurling with a magic kitty

Never forget the simple pleasures.

Lindsay's Enchantress

[Enlarge Here]

Not much to say, Lindsay like women, and he captured their beauty. Huzzah to him

Platitudes for Paris

Pull up a chair and join me?

Oceanic Cutie

Now if only the movie was this cartoony, and Ariel not quite so earnestly annoying. Ah well.

The process of making this drawing, from start to color can be seen at Bill Pressing's blog,

Curved Escapades

From a longer John K post. Deserves it's own spotlight. Go, Enoch.

Carefree Cannons

Enoch Bolles takes us back to the time (1962, it seems) when a lady can enjoy a cannon and be quite spirited. Ahh, those were the days.

A mighty wind and its dog

[Enlarge Here]

Hats off to Gil Elvgren for not only trying to attempt to explain this pose ( a gale, I gather) but also throwing in a fun little dog to the usual pin-up pose. Now that's craftsmanship.

In or Out, which is it?

The Work of Robert McGinnis: finally spotlighted.

Gutsy Girl

[Enlarge Here]

Well, you asked to know what goes on inside women (and I had to fill my lame joke quota. Now we are both happy).

Witching Hour

Spell worth being under.

Demon Gap

Open in new window

An intriguing plunge, illustrated by Pascal Blanché

Russian Arabian

Intriguing.

Blue Star

Wonderful little cyberpunk-like drawing from Juan Gimenez.

Long ago, on the edge of the forest. . .

And now for something different.

Artist unknown.

Look Behind you

[Enlarge Here]

An illuminating example of how women and their ideal form has changed throughout decades and era. Makes you wonder what cruelty we will spring on them in the next century.

Incidentally, do check out all those silent stars, they were all terrific and wonderful in every way(not just looks but actual talent --Can we get that part back at least?--).

Time for (K)laus

Well, another year, another holiday. At least people get one thing right his year and celebrate with the greatest European actor, The one true Klaus (Kinski).

I'll be watching all of his classic Herzog collaborations tomorrow. Hope you do the same.

Oh wait, that wasn't the claus you wanted?

Here you go(it's pretty good too).

Have fun.

(That's it for the rest of year for me. Maybe a few lists of things to look forward to, but no more pictures).
