Barbarian babes brandishing blades Always a fun topic of
discussion, but in the talented hands of painter Jose del Nido,
that topic transcends mere eye candy and inspires actual shock and
awe These are truly stunning portraits that celebrate the
terrifying beauty of fighting females Sharpened steel never looked
this good
How can we pack so much big booty into such a tiny and inexpensive
package? Sorry, but it's a trade secret we can't divulge, except to
say that shoehorns and spandex were involved. The original Big Butt
Book featured a great cross section of delectable rears from the
1950s to the present day. Here, since life is such an ironic deal,
we decided to pare the original content down to just the biggest
and the best, in-your-face phatties to which the great Sir
Mix-a-Lot alluded when penning, "My anaconda don't want none,
unless you've got buns, hun." Then we added in about 30 new photos,
just to be generous. Now in these 150 plus photos you'll see the
big and the bountiful, then the bigger and more bountiful, in black
and white and in color. The models may be largely anonymous, but
their curves are legendary, and now that they're collected in a
discrete little package affordable by all in these financially
trying times, why hold back? Your badonkadonk is calling.

In 1998, TASCHEN introduced the world to the masterful art of Touko
Laaksonen with The Art of Pleasure. Prior to that, Laaksonen,
better known as Tom of Finland, enjoyed an intense cult following
in the international gay community but was largely unknown to a
broader audience. In 2009, TASCHEN followed up with the ultimate
Tom overview: Tom of Finland XXL, a beautiful big collector's
edition with over 1,000 images, covering six decades of the
artist's career. The work was gathered from collections across the
United States and Europe with the help of the Tom of Finland
Foundation, featuring many drawings, paintings, and sketches never
previously reproduced. Other images had only been seen out of
context and were finally presented in the sequential order Tom
intended for full artistic appreciation and erotic impact. The
elegant oversized volume showed the full range of Tom's talent,
from sensitive portraits to frank sexual pleasure to tender
expressions of love and haunting tributes to young men struck down
by AIDS, and was completed by eight commissioned essays on Tom's
social and personal impact by Camille Paglia, John Waters,
Armistead Maupin, Todd Oldham, and others, plus a scholarly
analysis of individual drawings by art historian Edward
Lucie-Smith. The only thing missing from Tom of Finland XXL was a
widely affordable price tag-until now. The new Tom of Finland XXL
is still big enough to work your biceps, and includes all of the
original content, but costs a fraction of the original price.
You're welcome.
This work talks about an animator and concept artist for gaming
companies featured in hits like "Starcraft", "Diablo" and "World of
Warcraft". That's all well and good for a day job, but when the sun
goes down, Maxx's mind drifts off to nastier realms, filled with
bizarre creatures, foul aliens and oh yes, drop dead gorgeous
girls.
Anyone can yell "Let's get NAKED!," but it takes a true artist to
make that command a testament to illustrative excellence. Enter
Bruce Colero, in his third gallery of fleshy perfection that fans
just cannot get enough of! Who are we to argue with excessive
success?! Bruce's ability to meld impure thoughts with pure
imagination is what has his legion of fans panting for more! These
ladies might not exist in the real world, but you really WISH they
would!
Decades' worth of images have been distilled down to 512 pages of
photographs in this ultimate retrospective collection of Nobuyoshi
Araki's work, selected by the artist himself. First published as a
Limited Edition and now back in a new format to celebrate TASCHEN's
40th anniversary, the curation delves deep into Araki's best-known
imagery: Tokyo street scenes; faces and foods; colorful, sensual
flowers; female genitalia; and the Japanese art of kinbaku, or
bondage. As girls lay bound but defiant and glistening petals
assume suggestive shapes, Araki plays constantly with patterns of
subjugation and emancipation, death and desire and with the
slippage between serene image and shock. Describing his bondage
photographs as "a collaboration between the subject and the
photographer", Araki seeks to come closer to his female subjects
through photography, emphasizing the role of spoken conversation
between himself and the model. In his native Japan, he has attained
cult status for many women who feel liberated by his readiness to
photograph the expression of their desire. About the series TASCHEN
is 40! Since we started our work as cultural archaeologists in
1980, TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible publishing,
helping bookworms around the world curate their own library of art,
anthropology, and aphrodisia at an unbeatable price. Today we
celebrate 40 years of incredible books by staying true to our
company credo. The 40 series presents new editions of some of the
stars of our program-now more compact, friendly in price, and still
realized with the same commitment to impeccable production.
Bruce Colero is an illustrator with an exquisite eye for the
ladies. Especially the sort of sirens who like to indulge in their
darker sides. Colero ups his game for this latest collection
(fourth in the series!), showing just how nasty his nubile nation
can get! CAUTION: blisters ahead!
Tom's taste for police officers and felons-and for sexual tension
between the two-developed late in his career. "I've never been to
prison," he told a class at the California Institute of the Arts in
1985, "but I hear it's a closed world where there are different
roles and people behave different from when they walk free. It
fascinates me. It is another subject I come back to again and
again." By which he meant fantasized about again and again, since
only those subjects that aroused him sexually made it into his art.
The uniforms of the California Highway Patrol motorcyclists were
his favorite: tan and tight, with high boots and soft black leather
gauntlet gloves. He created his own uniform variants as well, a
cross between military and civilian police gear, and invented
suitably butch criminals for his cops to apprehend, though once
apprehended the power struggle could go either way. Tom was
determined to show top and bottom as equally masculine roles, and
his cops were as likely to end up happily speared by criminal cock
as delivering corrective coitus. Though criticized by some for what
appeared to be a glorification of power, Tom was always quick to
remind that the world he created was a fantasy world, where
anything was possible, and everything was consensual-even in
prison. The Little Book of Tom: Cops & Robbers explores Tom's
fascination with criminal justice through a mixture of multi-panel
comics and single-panel drawings and paintings, all in a compact
and affordable 192 pages. Historic film stills and posters,
personal photos of Tom, sketches, and Tom's own reference photos
make this far more than another Tom's Comics re-tread.
Of all the Gallery Girls collections, perhaps the most popular is
the sea-going sirens of the Seven Seas - Mermaids! Seems they're
NOT just for lonely sailors anymore! For centuries, these mystical
she-creatures have made those long ocean-going voyages worth the
effort! In our fourth instalment of such salty goodness, we've
enlisted the aquatic artworks of such expert fisherfolk as Pelaez,
Arantza, DelRivero, Colucci, Meriggi, and a boat-load of others!
Just wait a half-hour after eating before plunging into this book -
we don't want you cramping up!

While the female nude has long played a conspicuous role in western
iconography, the male nude has not always enjoyed such attention,
or acceptance. This ode to the male physique celebrates the
evolving, at one time illicit, art form from anonymous 19th century
erotica through to contemporary work from David Hockney and Duane
Michaels. Through the classic, the playful, and the provocative, it
explores the compositions, postures, and role-playing of this often
under-explored genre. Esteemed masters such as Herbert List, George
Platt Lynes or Robert Mapplethorpe are all there, alongside Baron
Wilhelm von Gloeden, famed for his homoerotic images of nude youths
in classical postures in Sicily. Further highlights include
illustrations from Physique Pictorial, the leading organ of the
mid-50s gay scene and a pioneer in gay publishing. About the series
Bibliotheca Universalis - Compact cultural companions celebrating
the eclectic TASCHEN universe!
The eternal conflict between heaven and hell has never so much fun

latest entry into the Gallery Girls series will certainly be
heavenly hellish!
Erotic encounters have been celebrated by artists from the
beginning of time. This irresistible volume presents 120 of the
most engagingly erotic paintings, sculptures, prints, and drawings
from diverse eras and cultures, coupled with revealing commentaries
about their sexual and aesthetic content. Organised unlike any
other collection of erotic images, The Art of Arousal traces the
course of a sensual relationship. It begins by examining the
elements of eroticism, and then progresses from flirtation and
seduction through kisses and other foreplay before ultimately
arriving at consummation and blissful exhaustion. The irrepressible
Dr. Ruth explores every element of sexuality in these provocative
works of art, including the pleasures of looking, creative
fantasising, and the effects on male and female pleasure of the
various positions depicted. All the works in this book have been
chosen to meet two essential criteria: everyone portrayed must be
having a good time, and each image must satisfy the high aesthetic
standards of Dr. Ruth and an art historian friend, who writes with
witty scholarship about the artistic and biographical aspects of
these remarkable images. Now available in a revised edition that
includes stimulating new works by contemporary creators, The Art of
Arousal is the perfect gift for your lover who loves art.
The "Song" series of artbooks have covered the sky and the earth -

his boat on the reef for a peek at these aquatic creations, as seen
by artists like Arantza, Fastner & Larson, Bruce Colero,
Pelaez, James Hottinger, David Dunstan, Malachi Maloney, and many
more. Follow the call of these sirens -- their song is the sweetest
yet!
