Editor’s letter
to the cake issue!
Well, hello there! Do you love our cover
art? We sure do! Thanks to Cris Delara,
who painted the cover exactly how I saw
it in my head. No mean feat, considering
all the other gubbins that lurks in there.
I hope you’ll enjoy the poster, too. Which
pin-up will you choose to adorn your
wall? Will it be the sassy cover art, or will
you opt for Loopydave’s beefcake, or Fiona Stephenson’s Elvgren-
inspired image? Send us a pic of where you put it up!
This issue is definitely a celebration of all things pin-up. Alongside
Cris’s cover and Fiona’s classic cheesecake workshops, we’re also
proud to showcase the art of Zoë Mozert, a ground-breaking artist
who some may have forgotten over time. We’re also featuring lady
art specialist Serge Birault, an artist whose love for octopuses and
women in rubber I simply can’t forget…
However, I also thought it would be interesting to ask an artist
(namely the sublime Julie Dillon) to share her thoughts on how she
views and paints a female pin-up. You can see the results over on
page 74. I also couldn’t resist setting Loopydave loose on creating
the perfect beefcake. See how this man measures up on page 68.
Recently on our letters page, we’ve briefly touched upon the issues
around women in art and whether they’re at a disadvantage because
of their gender. Over on page 16 we’ve gathered a group of female
artists and art directors to discuss the issues.
As ever, let me know what you think about the issue.
