^ Known as 'Nose Art' and often seen on WW2 warplanes. It's a fine tradition and hopefully not one subjected to PC sexist crap!
Inspiration for this thread comes from my daughter who just emailed to say that she's studying pornography at university. My reply was why couldn't I have done that!? She's actually on an Art & Design Textile course and it goes.. Weave workshop > Separate module on design and visual culture: Write an illustrated essay > she has chosen the history of mens' magazines and hence soft-porn 1920's to 1960's. A nice subject which covers Playboy and Alberto Vargas illustrations. Perhaps my daughter takes after me more than I realised!
^ Vargas' illustrations were the finest of the era imo
Tasteful pics of such art very welcome.................
