Product Description

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas - unless it's the eye-popping, smile-producing artwork of that town's most celebrated artistic influence - Jack Henslee! Texas-born, Henslee started out creating portraits of Native American and wildlife scenes. It's when he got to Las Vegas that he started to illustrate that OTHER wildlife of nightclubs and showgirls! Then, not surprisingly, his reputation was really made! An artist of multiple disciplines, this book focuses on his ability to create inspired illustrations of the female form. In his portraits, the pin-up standard is transcended, and there's a wonderful reality to his art. The girls are not so much idealized as lovingly appreciated, in all their winsome ways! The book is printed on heavyweight coated stock, and the reproduction of the works is state-of-the-art! If you're a fan of the pin-up, or just a devotee of outstanding artworks, this will be a fine addition to your library.

About the Author
Born in Fort Worth, the journey of Jack Henslee and his art has taken him from coast to coast, but his inclinations always seem to lead him home to Texas and his pretty ladies. Inspired in his youth by traditional illustration disciplines, Jack's first endeavors of creative works focused on Native American and wildlife themes. Discarding an early inclination toward architecture, Jack's professional path then drifted toward the development of an illustrious career among the competitive elite of Las Vegas illustrators and graphic designers where he distinguished himself as one of the industry's most prolific and sought-after artisans amid the exclusive high-dollar hotels and casinos of the strip. Jack now quietly resides a scant 15 miles from the neighborhood where he grew up, devoting his full focus back onto his pretty ladies.

Great Artist
Most artist painting women places monsters, swords and a lot of death around them, but this artist keeps the woment in a way we all can relate too. He has a great way of presenting his style with great care of achieving realism. This guy is going to be really big one day.

A visual orgasm of poses and well placed lines. Beautiful artwork and and the style of just enough background is what I personally go for and this book nailed it. I love when models are drawn to the point of coming to life and the pretty ladies in this book literally came to life for me. my sentiments are indeed a healthy well done!
