The Art of Gennadiy Koufay: Heatwave

Art Fantastix is a series of illustrated books dedicated to Pin-Up and Fantasy Art from around the globe. From household names like Clyde Caldwell (TSR) and John Bolton (Batman) to exciting newcomers like Andreas Raufeisen and Michael Mobius. Every book concentrates on the work of one artist and shows uninterrupted full colour images including many full and double page spreads. Quality printing on heavy paper with a complete index including model references where known, they waste little time on anything but the results. This is 'Art Premiere' as it was meant to be, highlighting the work of a first-time-published artist in the Pin-Up genre in all its glory. And for a Russian-born (now Ukrainian) artist, Koufay manages to perfectly capture the American cheesecake -- guess the 'glasnost' worked!

Born in 1961 in the Crimean city of Sevastapol, Koufay was the proverbial artistic child prodigy practising embroidery in kindergarten, music in junior school and attending Sevastapol School of Arts at the age of 12! He followed this by an appointment as Chief Decorator of the Sevastapol Theatre at 20 and opening his own Haute Couture business at 25. A move to the US in 1995 gave him financial independence which allowed him to pursue his heart's desire. This work is the result.
