His most recent drawing from the Angelface comics is above.







Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.
This is a card of courage and energy. It represents both the Lion's hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden's steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion's mouth, in others she shuts it. Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot, which might be why, in some decks, it is Justice that is card 8 instead of Strength. With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one's personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.

I love his work to. It reminds me of art deco and has a 1930 kind of style. A excellent artist.
Exactly why I love it too!
It's the gay erotica version of the stylish fashion artist Rene' Gruau who did for years all the Dior ads
These are gorgeous!
I'm in love with his work too -- reminiscent of J.C. Leyendecker and other illustrators/artists from the 30's-40's, but with an erotic sensibility that was too scandalous for those days...and unfortunately STILL too scandalous in most parts of the world.
Thanks for posting these Sue!
