Re: Sources Of Inspiration
-----------------------------------
My current inspiration comes from the pin-up artists of the 30's through to the 60's, but what first got me into art in general was my father - he used to give me his Penthouse magazine's once he'd finished with them...

Perhaps I'd better explain. Though like all teenaged boys I liked to look at photos of naked women, it was the "Oh Wicked Wanda" at the back of the magazine that got my full undivided attention.  OWW was an attempt to rip off the success of Playboy's "Little Annie Fannie" strip, which it only sporadically succeeded at.  But for some reason I just fell in love with Ron Embleton's painting style - especially the lovely little touches in the background. I've still got all the pages I ripped out of the magazines all those years  back, and having found the  Subtextopedia site which has the full run of OWW on the site, I'm even happier.
