POSADA IS A NEW STAR IN PIN-UP!.......2005-10-17

In a relatively short period of time Drew Posada has skyrocketed to fame to become one of the top glamour and pinup artists working today. Posada got his start working in comics for Image as well as some of the Image affiliate studios such as Top Cow and Wildstorm and other publishers like Avalon Studios. But Drew wanted to achieve acclaim for his pinup work and dropped out of comics to hone his work for over two years. His diligence would finally pay off when he was able to have his works exhibited at the prestigious Tamara Bane Gallery in L.A.

In the introduction, Posada explains his combination of old fashioned technique mixed with modern day technology. Posada begins his works by creating a drawing using pencil. The piece is then scanned into Adobe Photoshop where he completes it with primarily the airbrush. Posada explains he gets the level of photo-realism by using the single pixel or single dot brush and drawing each strand individually. This dedication to detail is evident in all of Posada's works. As with all of the full-color artist collections from SQP, a detailed index in the back provides the name of each piece and notes from Posada on what the work was created for, model's name, and other information.

Posada's work has what I would term as a soft luminescence to it, due in large part to Drew's masterful air-brushing technique. One of the first great examples in the book is the piece entitled "Blade" showing a nude blonde, kneeling and holding a great, glimmering broadsword. Posada provides a fantastic dominatrix piece with a gorgeous, green-haired beauty, wearing leather thigh-highs and green thong, with her legs spread almost impossibly apart.

"Wicked" was created for a cover to the comic book of the same name for Avalon Studios. This is a non-nude piece showing a woman lounging seemingly without a care as a demonic horror wisps ups from a magical tome lying at her feet. "Slayer" is one of my favorite pieces in the book showing a redheaded warrior maiden wearing a Vampirella-style outfit ready to swing a huge long sword. Speaking of Vampirella, Posada has a piece featuring that popular vampire from Warren that he sent to Harris Comics as an example...and they rejected! Someone was obviously asleep at the wheel.

After these 48 full-color pages of Posada's work, you're sure to be clamoring for more just as I was. A fantastic collection by a new star in pin-up art.
