There are innovators who blaze trails to show the way forward, and
creative genius Bob Larkin is certainly one of them. His magazine
and paperback covers are both legendary and iconic. From "Conan" to
"Star Wars", "Doc Savage" to "The Hulk", there are few pop culture
touchstones that artist Bob Larkin hasn't brought his unique and
powerful style of illustration to. This full colour retrospective
of over 100 paintings also includes an introduction by Joe Jusko
and an afterword by Alex Ross.
In 1953 Marlon Brando donned a black leather Perfecto motorcycle
jacket, military cap, denim jeans, and engineer boots to portray
Johnny, sneering leader of the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, in The
Wild One. In 1954 Tom of Finland abandoned brown leather in his
artwork to create his own wild ones: muscular, hyper-masculine,
black leather-clad rebels with powerful engines between their legs.
The look was adopted by the Satyrs Motorcycle Club, the first gay
outlaw club, that same year, making Tom's fantasy world reality. Of
course, being Tom, he soon customized his new gay icons, adding
leather jodhpurs, knee high boots and leather caps, and every
motorcycle bore the brand name "Tom" on the gas tank. Tom's bikers
first appeared as two "Motorcycle Boys" in Physique Pictorial,
Winter 1958. Another made the cover of the April 1960 issue. Bikers
dominated his PP content from then on, as a nod to its American
readership as much as his growing obsession. When he sought an
ongoing character, a personal avatar, in 1968, he created Kake as
the ultimate biker leatherman, and elaborated on his riding
adventures - of every kind - through 26-panel stories. Tom adopted
Kake's gear as his own, presenting in black leather jacket, white
t-shirt, jeans, and high boots to the end of his life. The Little
Book of Tom: Bikers includes Tom's earliest images for Physique
Pictorial, Kake in motorcycle gear, biker panel stories, and
sizzling single drawings, all packed into 192 pages of sexy,
masculine men enjoying other masculine men in black leather, blue
jeans, and high black boots. On bikes.

Yo ho, indeed! Here's a magnificent gallery of exquisite lady
pirate portraits by one of the great erotic pin-up artists working
today -- Stefano Mazzotti. His photo-realism blends seamlessly with
the fantasy of beautiful brigands (brigandettes?) fully prepared to
attack your mast and swarm your deck in search of treasure,
pleasure, and yes -- BOOTY! From his works in the "Velvet Love"
series, as well as "Tatz: Sin on Skin", Mazzotti is turning into
one of the hottest, most requested talents in the SQP mega-pool of
illustrators! We're delighted to present this latest collection of
brand new works. Eye-patch and peg-leg not required to thoroughly
enjoy this book, although you will let out with the occasional
"ARRRRRRR"!
At last, the third and final phase of this sumptuous feast of
female passions is ready for its up close and very personal
premiere The stunning artwork of Stefano Mazzotti has made this
series the stand-out in sapphic desire and stunning detail With a
running commentary by Silvio Andrei, this third book sets girl on
girl on GIRL Whoa That's a 33% increase in girlage
Statuesque actress, stuntwoman, martial artist, bodybuilder,
bodyguard, dominatrix. For over 15 years Mistress Xena has helped
bring thousands of twisted fantasies to life. Submitted allows you
to become a fly on the wall of her dungeon as she reveals her story
and the private fantasies of her anonymous clients. These
incredible dreams are revealed for the first time - outrageous to
some, but for Xena it's just another day at the office. These
letters take the reader on an often hilarious and provocative
journey through the secret minds and desires of Xena's slaves.
Undressed to impress. When it comes to pleasure, size doesn't
matter, as we all know it's quality, not quantity, that counts. But
let's admit it: a big penis is undeniably compelling. Big
shoulders, big lapels, and big hair may come and go, but the big
penis never goes out of fashion. With those possessing more than 8
inches (20 cm) making up less than 2 per cent of the world's
population, this rare accessory will always fascinate (a word,
coincidentally, derived from the Latin fascinum, meaning both
phallus and magical spirit).In this companion volume to "The Big
Book of Breasts", we explore the centuries-old fascination with the
large phallus, a fascination common to men and women alike. This
hefty book is profusely illustrated with over 400 historic photos
of spectacular male endowments, including rare photos of the
legendary John Holmes. The majority of the photographs are from the
1970s, when the sexual revolution first freed photographers to
depict the male entirely nude. Photographers include Bob Mizer of
Athletic Model Guild, David Hurles of Old Reliable, Colt, Falcon,
Sierra Domino, Third World, and Champion Studios, with each of
these iconic photographers interviewed or profiled, along with
information about each of their models. And if this isn't enough,
the book closes with a special surprise comparable to the Guinness
Book of Records' - Norma Stitz featured in "The Big Book of
Breasts"!
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.
When we think Tom of Finland we first picture muscular, macho young
men in military gear. Tom's vision of masculine perfection was
formed during his service as an officer during World War II. Though
he served in the Finnish air force, it was the German troops,
stationed in Finland to help the country repel invading Russian
forces, which served as inspiration. After all, only the Germans
had uniforms created by Hugo Boss, tightly tailored, replete with
designer touches, and complimented by high, shiny black leather
boots. Tom, at 19, was smitten, an obsession that deepened
following his first sexual experiences with German officers in the
blackout streets of Helsinki. Tom began putting his military
fantasies on paper in 1945 to memorialize his thrilling nighttime
encounters when the war ended. At first the Hugo Boss uniforms
dominated, but as the years and then decades passed he included
American naval uniforms as well, and then his own hybridized
designs of black leather, jodhpurs, boots, and peaked caps, with
military insignia replaced by Tom's Men patches. As Tom attracted
an army of loyal fans, he created, with pencil, pen and gouache, an
army of free, proud, masculine fantasy men committed to pleasure
and male camaraderie. The Little Book of Tom: Military Men explores
Tom's fascination with militaria 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 images
explore the cultural context and private inspirations behind the
ultimate Tom of Finland hero.
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.
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.
