4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Artwork, March 25, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Beasts & Beauties : The Erotic Art of Olaf (Paperback)

To be quite honest, this was one of the most amazing art books I have read in a long time. The artwork is just incredible and while it may be offensive to some, just by looking at the cover you'll either be interested or completely disgusted. Excellent buy if you're not squeemish.

2.0 out of 5 stars Kind of a disappointment...., April 27, 2010

This review is from: Beasts & Beauties : The Erotic Art of Olaf (Paperback)

This collection of "erotic" art was definitely sub-standard and disappointing since it wasn't erotic at all. I was expecting (or at least, hoping for...)drawings on a caliber with Tom of Finland or at least the sequences you can find in any one of the Meatmen series from Weyland Publications. Most of these were just explicit drawings by artists that really aren't that talented. Recommendation: Don't buy it!

This review is from: Beasts & Beauties : The Erotic Art of Olaf (Paperback)

From title I image extraordinary locations and fantasy subjects for pictures.
It isn't so. Just a couple of devils and other ordinary characters, nothing of 'beastly'
