I shan't tempt fate by banging on about possibilities so please just keep dropping in on this site.
So let's get this week's road test of new arrivals here at Pulp's Art under way with some models recalling a bygone era of wonderful illustration.
ILLUSTRATORS # 1
SC 96pp Color, Black + White
Book Palace Books
Book Palace publisher Geoff West is an admirer of Dan Zimmer's excellent quarterly publication "Illustration", which celebrates vintage American Illustration, it's hardly surprising then that there are parallels between it and Geoff's brand new publication dedicated to vintage European Illustration, "Illustrators".
So, one shouldn't think of these two wonderful publications as competing with one another but more as companions.
The first issue of Illustrators puts the focus on Denis McLoughlin's pulp illustrations, UK comic mainstay Ian Kennedy and from across the channel there are pieces on Spaniard Angel Badia Camps and the fancifully monickered Frenchman Cheri Herouard.
It's an auspicious debut for a title with a lot of potential and from a team with excellent knowledge and contacts, we're looking forward to subsequent issues.

So, here's a highly plausible hypothesis, having read Illustrators with its examination of Denis McLoughlin's art you're intrigued to know more about this fabulous British illustrator, what's to be done?
Well here's the remedy an in depth book looking at the artist and with lots of reproductions of his work.
Post War Britain was a pretty dreary place, certain parts of the country were being restored after extensive bombing, food was rationed and Brits were having to come to terms with the evidence of the war, of a new world order and our reduced standing among the nations.
In this context it's hardly surprising our gaze turned westwards to the seductive haven of glamour and abundance, America.
From the culture of the pioneer west to racy pulp and crime stories, Europe had an insatiable appetite for it all and Denis McLoughlin was some how hard wired to what visually gripped us about these genres.
In this book you find hundreds of his illustrations of western heroes and sensational detective stories.
DAVID COLMAN'S DOODLES III
HC 142pp Color, Black + White
David Colman
Ace animator David Colman, yes the one who won an Emmey, is back with a whole heap of fabulous drawing from his sketch book.
Some of the pieces featured in this book were displayed at his show with Craig Elliott at Galerie Daniel Maghen here in Paris a year or two back.
David is a versatile artist, both in technique and in subject, sure we know him best for his animal caricatures but there are many more strings to his bow as this book gives testament to.
David's excellent Art of Animal Character Design will very soon be sold out but Doodles II and Animal Character Design Grizzly Bears are still available HERE!

As well as turning out some amazing work for Marvel, Simone's been producing design for Hollywood and becoming a dad!

All the behind the scenes visual stuff you could want for the concluding installment of the ground breaking persona game, with lots of art from Shigenori Shoejima and creator interviews about the whys and wherefores of making the whole thing.
Last and if you attend church regularly then certainly least is this book about tea time for swingers, why its,
SEXYTIME
HC 96pp Color, Black + White
Fantagraphics Books
Supposedly there was once a golden age of pornography in the USA, that was age by the way, before AIDS rose its ugly head along with the attendant loons declaring it God's rather harsh judgement on promiscuity.
Yes back in the 70s - ahem - "adult" films attempted to entertain as well as stimulate and this book celebrates 100 posters from these pioneering days of porn, when this stuff actually played in cinemas and not booths!
Great fun, if not good clean fun or for all ages.
