up in the early 60’s provided me with many opportunities to see various erotic
scenes on television. After watching these scenes I would often try to recreate
them on paper (or enact it with a certain girl in the neighborhood). Fortunately
I had a decent drawing ability, and soon found I could achieve a likeness of the
actress as well. I took great care in obtaining accuracy of positions and
angles. I also paid attention to her dress wear. High heeled shoes and knee-high
boots, showing lots of leg are other special turn-ons to me.
In
high school my notes from class were intermixed with sketches of various
studies: girls in cheerleader uniforms, leg wear, footwear, etc. All were done
from observation or memory. Guys who saw my drawings began to ask for drawings
of certain girls or movie stars involved in various fantasy situations. It was
an early version of the custom order business I’d later provide.
My
career as a professional illustrator began after college. My taste for women in
bizarre attire led me to super hero books, where the heroines dressed in wild
clothing. The same can be said for my sci-fi book covers. Yet it was working for
Friendship Studios that began my deep involvement with erotic illustration.
During
this time I also had the opportunity to illustrate a complete book, and also I
was able to begin a professional custom art service. Over the years we were
together I must have drawn close to a thousand personal requests.
Afterwards
I concerned myself more with regular illustration, portrait and cover paintings
while keeping a steady custom order clientele. I also did some work for a number
of well-known erotic publications.
Many
times I’ve been asked how my drawings evolve. I tend to work from imagination,
starting with a basic idea. It may be a certain situation, woman, position,
etc., that sets the wheels in motion. I do a full size sketch, working out
details, then I transfer onto Bristol Board (11” x 14”). The drawing is
usually rendered in black Prismacolor, a wax pencil that seldom smears. If I
need reference, I find a photo that is similar, or get my wife to pose.
When
doing custom work, my major concern is that the buyer be pleased with the
result. I carefully consider what his fantasy is all about, as well as stressing
detail and creating a good likeness.
