Drop Dead Sexy
Mark Wasyl
Mark
Wasyl is an Los Angeles based artist bringing the world his own brand of pop
culture which mixtures a naughty sense of play with a lot of bite !
His
work is marked by clean lines, luxurious style, bold colors, and sensuous
curves. While he occasionally uses models, his work is primarily “imaginative”,
these are the girls of the twilight, shaped from the stuff of dream where they
scratch as much as they kiss. His
trademark is tattooed girls embellished with skulls, flames and stars.
The
girls are a quirky mix of innocence with attitude, they are young and bratty
and definitely “in your face”. Heavily inspired by music, pop culture and the
modern pinup, it comes as no surprise that the major focus of his work is
Girls, dark culture and Rock ‘n’ Roll with a dash of punk! His devil girls,
tattooed gun toting hotties and graphic embellished chicks are beauties with a
dash of danger and his pentagrams, skulls and other related items are stylish
and chic.
His
website is packed with goodies and is a work of art in itself and includes a
comprehensive Pin Up Section, a Blog and a store packed with goodies from
posters to stickers, pinups and books.
The
“Drop Dead Sexy Pin Up Book” is filled with Mark's Devil Girls, Inked up gun
toting chicks with attitude and Rock n' Roll inspired motifs. It has some 55
illustrations and is in full colour. Each one of this pictures is a real work
of art and could be just as easily framed !
The
posters and pictures are superb. One that is especially nice is “the Afflicted
Girl” - it is a very high quality color
silkscreen, with metallic ink on black
stock. It is a great size (12"x18") and a limited edition of 150
signed by the artist. The Dark Red edition is especially catching.
The
“Spice” prints are superb large premium collector's prints signed and printed
on Premium Archival paper using archival inks. They are a great size
(11.75"x16.5") for framing and will make an impressive addition to
any chic home.
Mark
makes sure you get these goods in perfect condition; prints are carefully
packed in protective sleeves with backing boards and shipped flat. We received
some goodies via the post to Australia and they arrived in perfect condition
and considering the mail system it tells you how much care Mark takes to make
sure you get your goods in superb condition.
There
are also lots of nice vinyl stockers ranging from pinups to Frankenskull and
some great note cards as well.
Drop
Dead Sexy offers a wide range of great products, if you love Pinups with
attitude, you will love this site and want to buy some of the products
available. The Pinup blog offers all sorts of great links, news and reviews
about Pinups girls with the aim of creating a new generation pinup girl.
Looking at Mark’s work, I think he is well on the way !
