Anyhow, directly inspired by the vintage illustrations, I sought to do one in my current iteration of it, but as modern as possible. To wit, a highly editorial African model in the vein of Fernando Cabral.

Modern Menswear
I went to brunch yesterday with my friend Greg and stopped by Mast, a bookstore in the East Village that was brimful of amazing vintage books on art as well as a lot of artsy homoerotica. They had issues of vintage GQ from the late 50s early 60s, and I bought one with the amasing artwork of Harlan Krakowitz. I was surprised because the illustration style is something I already channel, but I thought I was refining Rene Gruau to something simpler (i,e, not as good, because Gruau is a master). Turns out, I might have imbibed the style from other illustrations through the years, but my mind tends to work by absorbing then forgetting the reference (or so I'm discovering).
