Equally adept with airbrush, arcylic paints, colored pencils, and pastels, Brian Rood's multi-media approach to illustration has rendered a multitude of iconic subject matter. His work for Chaos! Comics and portrayals of characters like the Crow, Vampirella, G.I. Joe, and Masters of the Universe have impressed art directors and the public in general, but it's his love of the pin-up that has set this artist apart. This collection of Brian Rood's finest pieces has been assembled with a particular eye to the glamorous and erotic pin-up.

This review is from: The Art of Brian Rood (Paperback)
Brian Rood is a very good pin-up artist, and this is a nice selection of his work. However, this is a magazine and not a paperback. SQP has cut corners with thin paper pages and covers. Search the web for the hardback though it is quite expensive.

THE FIRST ROOD COLLECTION!,
This review is from: The Art of Brian Rood (Paperback)
In a relative short time Brian Rood has accelerated himself near the top of the pack when it comes to fantasy/erotic illustrators. Just approaching his 30th birthday, Rood has already built up an impressive list of credits including work in comics, feature films, collectible card games, magazines, and more. This is his first collection of art from the great people at SQP, simply the best publishers of fantasy and erotic/pin-up art in the business. This 48 page book presents an eclectic collection of Rood's pin-up and fantasy art featuring everyone from Bettie page to Lady Death.
What I love about Rood's pinup art is the soft, warm tones of his art. The result is a very photo-realistic look. A perfect example is the piece entitled simply "The Bombshell" depicting a hot blonde in a leather corset and lace stockings. The other quality I love about Rood's work, almost in contrast to the first, is the shine and glare effects he achieves while still working in softer colors. An example of this can be found in "Pink Caddy" as model Stacy Walker is decked out in leather boots and a metallic bikini while a freshly waxed and shining pink Cadillac is in the back ground. Rood also takes a turn at the women of Chaos Comics with several Lady Death and Purgatori pieces in the book. "Purgatori Trick or Treat" features the sexy demon dressed in a Catholic school girl outfit, holding a pumpkin candy collecting basket. Lady Death is pictured with another one of Brian's favorite subjects, James O'Barr's The Crow. You'll find more than just beautiful women in the book though. Rood also includes some samples of his superhero work as well as a magnificent rendering of the late guitar God Jimi Henrdrix in a painting called "Voodoo Child". It's quite a outstanding first collection by Rood and produced with the same outstanding care that SQP does on all of their books. Reviewed by Tim Janson
