Socialite Life (SOCIALITE LIFE.COM) art has been revamped, but not on their site yet (if ever). The revamped design was supposed to go live early last year, but I haven't heard anything about it in forever so I figured I should show you guys and see what you think. One of my favorite blonde bombshell bodies I've drawn to date.

COJO'S XXL MAGAZINE RAPPER VIDEOGRAPHER ART
3-18-08 POST KEYWORDS: XXL Magazine, Davina A. Lennard, Rappers, Videographers, Snoop Cover, Cojo Art Juggernaut, Artsucks.com, Cojo

The new issue of XXL MAGAZINE came out this month (Snoop on cover) with a cool little 4-Panel piece I did SEE ART LARGER. It's about how a lot of rappers / hip-hop artists are hiring guys to follow them around with a video camera 24/7 to document their lives. The idea was to depict this in four panels, showing the banal daily nothings that are recorded 99 percent of the time.

It's kinda self explanatory. The first panel . . .

In the new 4-Cover issue of WWE MAGAZINE in addition to the GREAT KHALI PIECE I also had the chance to do up this awesome tribute to Raquel Welch's 1966 ONE MILLION YEARS B.C. movie poster (As referenced in The Shawshank Redemption- "What say there, fuzzy britches?") for an interview with WWE DIVA BETH PHOENIX. The interview was written by Matt Berical with photography by David Yellen. I was able to work in my cartoon style, creating the cavemen, the dinosaurs, as well as the feature's header type "DAWN OF THE GLAMAZON" (SEE LAYOUT LARGE). The layout was done by WWE Magazine Creative Director Brant Louck. . . READ MORE AFTER THE JUMP

THE SOFTER SIDE OF COJO
3-18-08 POST KEYWORDS: Nylon Magazine, Women's Health Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Seventeen Magazine, Cosmo Girl, Cojo Art Juggernaut, Artsucks.com, Cojo

Since most of my work is really hard, masculine, and "in-your-fucking-face" extreme Maxim-ish art, some potential clients are hesitant to work with me because they assume my style isn't soft enough.

I decided to put together a few samples that would work in more feminine campaigns, or magazines like COSMOPOLITAN, WOMEN'S HEALTH, or NYLON MAGAZINE.

MONROE'S LAST NUDES LOHAN REDUX
3-14-08 POST KEYWORDS: Lindsay Lohan Nude, Bert Stern, Marilyn Monroe, New York Magazine, The Last Sitting, Hotel Bel-Air, Lindsay Lohan, Layout, Comparison, Side-by-Side, (NOT SAFE FOR WORK), Cojo Art Juggernaut, Artsucks.com, Cojo

Looking at the New York Magazine Nude Lohan prints, as an artist who's taken many reference photoshoots, I felt the pictures only told half the story. I needed to see how they compared to the original Marilyn shots and which Marilyn photos were used for reference. Just seeing the Lohan photos didn't give me any perspective.

I painstakingly (it was fun) went through the original Bert Stern / Monroe "the last sitting" shot-by-shot and figured out (to my best guess) which pictures he referenced for the Lohan shoot. (see below)



How Lohan was able to take poses and expressions that are fun and alive in 1962 and make them look so dull and contrived in 2008 is amazing. Probably the one time when a little champagne tumble off the sobriety wagon would have been a good career move. . .
