Staff Pick (September11): Naughty And Nice: The Good Girl Art Of Bruce Timm

Clean, neat, concise and accessible for all ages is how I normally would consider the work of Bruce Timm. With the release of Flesk Publication’s Naughty and Nice: The Good Girl Art of Bruce Timm you can add sexy and provocative in describing his artwork.

This book showcases a number of full-color, line and pencil illustrations of semi-clothed and nude women in poses from pensive to assertive, from sophisticated city gal to savage jungle queen. Bruce gave Flesk Publications unprecedented access to his archives to provide the best representation of his private works. In these new and rarely seen images from the last 15 years, Timm combines lush brushstrokes and pencil work, a smooth and graceful economy of line creating some of the best designs of the female form.

Whether you are a fan of pin up art from Gil Elvgren to Dave Stevens or Adam Hughes, Naughty and Nice: The Good Girl Art of Bruce Timm is an excellent addition to your library of Good Girl Art.
