Portraits

The piece above is one of a series of commissions I did some years ago of stars from girlie mags. This is of Lindsey Dawn Mackenzie who busted-pun intended-onto the scene while still a teenager in England.

I've done quite a few commissions over the years, lots of portraits and some hardcore stuff, and I was hoping to have them published. But to do that, it looks like I'll have to return to self publishing. I always liked self publishing-it's a lot of work, but I can still do it. A lot of things have changed in the publishing world since my last time and I'll have to find out the best way to go about it. It won't be soon, but I'll look into it.

In the meantime, I'll post some of the many unseen pieces on my new website. So drop by http://kevinjtaylor.com and see what's doin'.

Model by Day review

All these years, and I've never seen this review.

Posted: Sun., Oct. 10, 1993, 11:00pm PT
Fox Night at the Movies Model by Day
((Mon. (11), 8-10 p.m., Fox))
By Roberta Bernstein
A Fox West Pictures presentation of a Lewis B. Chesler/Empath Films Production, in association with Alliance Communications Corp. Exec producers, Lewis B. Chesler, Joseph Loeb III, Matthew Weisman, David M. Perlmutter; producer, Ken Gord; director, Christian Duguay; writers, Loeb, Weisman, based on the comic book by Kevin J. Taylor.
Cast: Famke Janssen, Shannon Tweed, Sean Young, Stephen Shellen, Clark Johnson, Traci Lind, Von Flores, Kim Coates, Nigel Bennett, Louis de Banco.Model by Day" is an above-average, easy on the eyes made-for t.v. movie. While the plot is the usual vacuous tripe, the production's interesting camera work, mood lighting, New Age music and quick edits make it more "Twin Peaks" than "Charlie's Angels." And, unlike many other standard beauty bonanzas, the script has its moments, too.
The comic book-style adventure centers around Lex (Famke Janssen), a successful fashion model who is also a martial arts expert.
When her roommate is attacked and hospitalized, Lex dons a mask and a skimpy crime-fighting outfit and sets out into the night.
After she meets with success and is dubbed the mysterious Lady X, another woman decides to imitate her -- down to that skimpy outfit -- and also fight New York's unruly night crowd.
Unfortunately, the impostor's not opposed to murder.
There are some fresh, even funny, moments, such as when Lex limps around sore after her first big night out as a heroine, and a parody of "Basic Instinct's" no-underwear scene.
Also, while Lex and the police lieutenant on the case (Stephen Shellen) are falling in love, they're seriously out of practice in the art.
But it's the world of modeling -- and its emphasis on beauty and shape -- that's the star of the show.
There are plenty of models in lingerie, close-ups of breasts and butts, and a constant parade of designer fashions.
Fox, at least, gets credit for trying.
Camera, David Franco; editor, Patrick Lussier; production manager, Dennis Chapman; production designers, Linda Del Rosario, Carmi Gallo; co-production designer/set decorator, Richard Paris; costume designer, Eva Gord; fashion coordinator, Rommie David, Dovie Mamikunian; key makeup, MarySue Heron; hairstylist, Lucy Orton; stunt coordinator, Steven Lucescu.

Besides "vacuous tripe" that's not a bad review. Now I have to find a copy on dvd and have a Model By day screening.

JILL-Po Godzinach

.

So far, my works have been printed in Spanish, French, Italian, German, Swiss (in Penthouse Comics, without permission and which I don't think I was ever paid for) and of course english. Now, it seems the Polish have taken a liking to Jill-Part Time Lover. And why wouldn't they?

So, if you can find a copy, you might learn a little polish pillow talk-or shouts, groans and grunts-to impress your partner during your next bed wrestling encounter.

3 versions, 1 page by Kevin J. Taylor

The pencil, ink and painted versions of page 11 of GIRL: Th Second Coming, Volume 4. The inked version was for Sizzle magazine. The book is full of effects I've never painted before-on this page it's the middle tier of Jaleira walking through the waterfall.

'Tis the season

Is it christmas time already? It seems like it was just Christmas a year ago.

Here in Spain, they don't usually celebrate Christmas the way the rest of the world does, but it's catching on faster with every year. Their Christmas holiday begins on Christmas Eve but extends to January 6th, the day of The Three Kings, which is when spanish kids get their presents. However, recently more and more spanish kids are demanding their presents on Christmas day. But parents and grand parents want to keep the Three Kings tradition going and this means kids are getting gifts twice only weeks apart.

I guess if I was a spanish kid, it would be my favorite holiday(s), but if I were a parent, I'd probably have to go against one tradition and choose one of the two holidays to spoil my kids. In any event, Christmas here now lasts for a few weeks and it's a good time to get great prices on the "after christmas" sales.

This will probably be my last entry for the year as things are getting busy for me. I had a tough summer/fall and things seem to be getting better with commissions and being able to work on my book, the fourth and final installment of the GIRL series. I know I've said it before, but I'm doing my best to finish that book while I struggle to pay my rent and bills. Trust me, I'll never give up on GIRL until it's finished. I'm only hoping everyone understands and can be patient a little longer.

Speaking of GIRL, the last volume has been serialised in NBM's Sizzle magazine over the last year and the final installment can be seen in the November issue. It's a pen and ink version but will be in full painted color when the book is published. For Sizzle, I chose to leave out the final two pages as sort of a cliff hanger. I wanted to save a nice surprise for the color book-I just hope it pays off.

NBM now has a new blog at http://nbmeurotica.blogspot.com/ It's a new site and in time will be a great place to catch up with the Eurotica authors.

And while you're at it, check out my new site at http://kevinjtaylor.com/ It's updated frequently and I have lots of art on sale. It's shaping up to be a great site as well. The above art is a commissioned piece, the type I've been doing lately, so interested parties drop me a line and maybe we can work something out.

That's all for now. I hope you all have a great holiday season and I'll see you on the other side of the new year.
