sorry if there is already a topic about patrick nagel. i searched around for one but found nothing. patrick nagel created an unmistakeable style derived from art deco. he depicted his subjects, mostly female, as simultaneously alluring and aloof. (photobucket, member 07fleurschen) (antiquehelper.com) probably now his most famous work, the cover of duran duran's hit "rio" album (3.bp.blogspot.com)
i remember seeing this as your avatar and was intrigued i actually thought it was manga/anime at first --some of the comics geared to more mature audiences have a close-to-naturalist drawing style such as this. such as banana fish, ninja scroll i love the choice of colours here, a little greyed sophisticated does remind me of the 90s without even looking at the 90s hair ^^ don't think we have a thread on him yet, so thank you!
