This artwork is by the Italian artist Guido Crepax. Based on this tweet it’s circa 1980. Searching through past posts, I’m kind of surprised to discover I’ve not featured his art before. He was a significant creator of erotic art through the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, with the character Valentina being his most famous creation. While he wasn’t a femdom illustrator, kink is a common theme in his work. The Lambiek Comiclopedia has a good article on him if you’re interested to learn more.
I discovered Crepax back in the 70’s and loved his work. No trip to London was complete without a visit to Dark They Were and Golden Eyed or the original Forbidden Planet as they sold his books along with other Science Fiction artists whose work had a kink and SM feeling.
Interesting. I’ve definitely seen his work before, but didn’t know much about him or it until I started researching this post. Will have to dig into more of it when I get the chance.
Thanks for stopping by!
