Blue Monday - Cafe Redux
Nope. This isn't the feature that got bumped last week. (But the last reference resource has been stalked and trapped, so - next week?) This week we have another feature that we said we'd get back to, prompted by recently finding an old favorite print by the late, great Dave Stevens, the star of today's
We'll get to that print mentioned above in just a bit. First, let's take a look at some pose sheets, from which you might recognize the beginnings of works you've seen previously. Here's a half dozen pages for a peek behind the Master's work:

That Priscilla, she's one clever lady.
With preliminary sketch work like that, one hardly needs fully rendered works. But, we got those.
We've got black & white images, both lovingly textured pencils and finely delineated inks...
...and colour works, from outre comic book stylings...
...to more painterly styled images of lovely ladies...
...to even his rarely seen cartoony side in this poster for the 1984 movie Up The Creek...
And, then, of course, there's the immortal Bettie Page, with whom Dave gives us all of the above. Black & white...
...colour...
...cartoony...
...and the preliminary sketch...
...for that favorite old print i found last week:
I had to remove the lid from the scanner to capture this beauty in sections and stitch it together in Photoshop, so this image is larger than is typical here. Enjoy a close look at this lovely print, and then scroll back up and delight at the more subtly erotic look on Bettie's face in the preliminary sketch.
Dave Stevens is another one of those cases where i wonder just how much we lost with him. At only 52 when he died, he was just reaching the age at which many artists are entering a peak period, with decades of learning and practice to draw upon. That print above, for example, was painted when he was not yet 30.
It's probably best not to dwell on what we lost with him. Better to scroll back up and appreciate all he left us.

Monday Cafe
It's time to face a new week, and we always try to help with our regular Monday feature -
...um, no.... That's not it. But that is our featured artist this outing - Dave Stevens, an artist fairly well known for his loving renditions of the female form, as well as for triggering a renaissance of interest in the immortal Bettie Page. Both are easily great features we'll focus on in the future, let's narrow things down a bit to vaguely Halloween/Spooky/Supernatural themed images from Mr. Stevens for this edition of
Meanwhile, back in the pumpkin patch...

That comic sure has changed since i was a kid.
Something we get to see less often is Dave's paintings, such as this lovely witch-
Dave's Delicious Daughters of Darkness:
She may be "dressed," but his rendition of Vampirella looks all the more naked for it
Ever wonder who's in charge of dirty movies down below?
Let's end it with a another look at the bewitching Jill-
That's enough for now. We wouldn't want to have to call a sexorcist...
