Dorian Cleavenger :

Cleavenger's women are beautiful, but dark and dangerous and often seem tinged with a deep sadness which mystifies the viewer. His creations can seem to have been born right out of the Garden of Eden, or right out of the very depths of hell. You'll find mostly the latter in this collection. The striking thing about Dorian's art is that this isn't the stuff of mere pin-ups. Each painting seems to have its own dark story it wants to tell. The book begins with a biography of Cleavenger and throughout the book he shares his thoughts on his creative process, the use of models, and other subjects. The great pieces are too many to list as Cleavenger is always consistently good, but let me note a few of my favorite paintings in this book.

"Vampire Slayer" finds an erotic and over-powering female vampire who has just dispatched the foolish vampire slayer who sought to drive a stake through her heart. "The Contract" is a masterpiece of dark fantasy as the angel of death cradles a fallen woman whose time, it seems, has run out. In "The Consummation" an Egyptian Princess has embraced her mummified lover right inside his sarcophagus.
