| Edward Reed is a unique artist who delights in the old-school masters of pin-up like Vargas, Elvgren and Petty, yet he has a fascination for photo-realism that borders on the surreal. He has the practiced ease of an expert when it comes to real-world airbrushing, yet has no difficulty bringing that talent to a computer screen. Whether analog or digital, the finished illustration is what's important, and Reed brings outstanding style and beauty to all his creations. His women are classic in form yet modern in sensibility - just the right mix for a 21st Century pin-up artist! This first collection of this works - Portraits & Pin-Ups, is well named, as it showcases both his serious and fun sides to an appreciative audience. Also an in-demand instructor, Edward has assembled a fascinating step-by-step to show how he creates such intricate and amazing masterworks. 48 pages in full color. |

How
to Airbrush Pin-Ups (Paperback) Available at Amazon.com or directly from the publisher at |
| How
to Airbrush Pinups is a collection of 7 instructional sequences
on 144 pages done by well-known and experienced airbrush artists
including Edward Reed, Steve Nunez, Susan Heidi, Liz Austin, Steve
Driscoll, Steve Leahy and Tom Nguyen. Each photo sequence starts
with the artist's sketch, before moving, step-by-step, to the finished
panel. The human form, the human face, and skin tones, are three
topics that beginning artists struggle to get right. And it is these
three topics that make up much of the discussion in this new book.
Each chapter includes a Q&A with the artist. These interviews allow
the reader to experience the artist, one-on-one. This is a chance
to learn not only which airbrush the artist prefers, but also how
they learned their skills, who inspires them and how to avoid the
typical mistakes. The styles seen in How to Airbrush Pinups run
the gamut from retro pinup and Vargas-style work of Edward Reed
to modern stylized pinups of Tom Nguyen. Each artist adds his or
her own spin to the classic female shape, and each explains in both
words and photos how to create the allure that makes pin-up art
one of the most popular art forms in the world. 144 pages Full color.

"I've said it before and I'll keep on saying it: Your work is really brilliant. It's one thing to emulate the techniques of Vargas and (especially) Petty---it's an entirely different thing to really capture the flavor, character, personality and spirit of such artwork---and not just of the art itself but the era with which it is associated. It would be difficult to tell at first glance that these paintings had not been done in 1940. I think you are too modest when you say that your work is reminiscent of Vargas and Petty when it is in fact on a par with what they did. You have made these paintings very much your own." -Ron Miller
