 What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas - unless it's the eye-popping,
smile-producing artwork of that town's most celebrated artistic
influence - Jack Henslee! Texas-born, Henslee started out creating
portraits of Native American and wildlife scenes. It's when he got to
Las Vegas that he started to illustrate that OTHER wildlife of
nightclubs and showgirls!
Then, not surprisingly, his reputation was
really made! An artist of multiple disciplines, this book focuses on
his ability to create inspired illustrations of the female form. In his
portraits, the pin-up standard is transcended, and there's a wonderful
reality to his art. The girls are not so much idealized as lovingly
appreciated, in all their winsome ways! The book is printed on
heavyweight coated stock, and the reproduction of the works is
state-of-the-art! If you're a fan of the pin-up, or just a devotee of
outstanding artworks, this will be a fine addition to your library.

About the Author
Born in Fort Worth, the
journey of Jack Henslee and his art has taken him from coast to coast,
but his inclinations always seem to lead him home to Texas and his
pretty ladies. Inspired in his youth by traditional illustration
disciplines, Jack's first endeavors of creative works focused on Native
American and wildlife themes. Discarding an early inclination toward
architecture, Jack's professional path then drifted toward the
development of an illustrious career among the competitive elite of Las
Vegas illustrators and graphic designers where he distinguished himself
as one of the industry's most prolific and sought-after artisans amid
the exclusive high-dollar hotels and casinos of the strip. Jack now
quietly resides a scant 15 miles from the neighborhood where he grew
up, devoting his full focus back onto his pretty ladies.

- Naked Happy Girls...
As a collection of pictures of attractive women, Naked Happy Girls is
pleasing and a little unusual. While undoubtedly erotic, it avoids most
of the clichés of standard glamour photography. It remains voyeuristic
and feminists might condemn it as objectivizing, but it certainly isn't
pornographic by contemporary standards. The work is playful and even
cheerful, showing beautiful women in natural light. Ultimately though,
the book doesn't compare with more provocative and innovative nude
photography. There are some strong images, especially those in which
the subject looks directly and openly into the camera, because in
those, the women convey their own power, and show themselves as equal
to the photographer and the viewer.
- Bad Girls Hotel...
Is this erotic art, a social statement, or is it just pornography’ As a documentation of the wilder side of New York City in the 21st century, Coulter's models are certainly girls on the edge, with tattoos, piercings and dyed hair. They are dancers, escorts, waitresses, and an occasional medical student. But for some reason, they are all drawn to showing off their bodies in ways that reveal not just their private parts, but also reveal their characters and a sense of rebellion. Done in the course of a year at the notorious Carlton Arms Hotel on 25th street, where nobody in their right mind would ever stay, these are strange photos.
- Sex and the Floating World: Erotic Images in Japan 1700-1820...
This revised and expanded second edition of Timon Screech's definitive "Sex and the Floating World" offers a new assessment of the genre of Japanese paintings and prints known as shunga. Changes in Japanese law in the 1990s enabled erotic images to be published without fear of prosecution, and many shunga picture-books have since appeared. There has, however, been very little attempt to situate the imagery within the contexts of sexuality, gender or power.Questions of aesthetics, and of whether shunga deserve a place in the official history of Japanese art, have dominated, and the question of the use of these images has been avoided. Timon Screech seeks to re-establish shunga in a proper historical frame of culture and creativity.

In relation to nudes, I work with amateur models. They pose for me because they love art and they do it with passion in each photography session, facing draw backs, long delays, hours travelling, cold or heat at times or just long walks some other times. They are the other part of this at of mine, since they give passion and effort in each photograph.

I don't want my photography to just be 'pretty pictures', I want my work to tell a story. I want to make lasting impressions on the people around me and also document those fleeting moments of human sexuality.

their own hands. Thus the QUEER MEN'S EROTIC ART WORKSHOP was born! In

their collaboration proved to be quite fruitful. Together they produced
