Welcome to the premiere of a new feature on our blog - The Post. Twice a week we will feature a beautiful photograph, drawing, or painting to honor women in art.

Writer and art model Unbearable Lightness selected this image after searching the Web for an outstanding photograph taken by a woman photographer. Unbearable Lightness is featured in the Winter 2010 issue of Carrie Leigh's NUDE.

Tick..tock..tick..tock..

Time is running out for pre-ordering the Winter 2010 issue of Carrie Leigh's NUDE. I have just seen the new issue. (I get to see it digitally because I put up the previews on the website), and it is another beautiful publication.

The previews went up today on the "issues" page. Click on the cover to see the preview. If it does not take you there right away, you may have to refresh your browser.

Pre-orders end this coming Sunday. I can't tell you how many time I have friends calling me asking to see if I can get them a copy of the magazine because they got to the stands too late and they were sold out. I don't have them other than what I may buy myself when the come out, so I tell them they better pre-order, or better yet, subscribe and really save some money.

PRE ORDERS ENDING SOON! FEB. 7!

A date has been set for the end to the Pre Orders, as NUDE is good to go for the Winter 2010 issue. The Pre Orders within the United States are only $9.95 to your door. That is shipping and handling included and $3 off the cover price. In this down economy, this is a great deal for the world's only fine arts nude gallery quality quarterly.



This photograph is by Christophe Vermare - look for him in the Winter 2010 Issue. His title for the work is “I finally got my hands on an issue of Carrie Leigh's NUDE (all sold out).”

Don't be caught without your NUDE. Pre Orders end Sunday February 7.

Outside of the U.S., there are also discounted rates for the Pre Orders. Check the website for the deals.

Coming next week on the website will be the preview of the new issue. Previews for all the past issues can be found here.

Last but not least, we will try to keep things updated and interesting. I am going to be adding two new features to this blog. One will be a showing of some of my favorite images from sold-out issues of NUDE magazine over the past two years. I will also be showing some work from a new group forming on deviantArt for the artists and appreciators of the NUDE form in art. More about the group and the people involved soon.

***Just a disclaimer. Though my work appears in Carrie Leigh's NUDE Magazine, and I am friendly with Carrie Leigh and her husband, I have no say or real influence over what goes into the magazine. It is, and always has only been, only Carrie who pulls it all together and who chooses what goes in. Please do not contact me asking to get into the magazine or to show your work to Carrie.

Getting ready for Winter 2010 Issue

I am a bit excited today. I have been asked by Carrie Leigh today if my little blog here can be an official source for new information for NUDE Magazine. Figured as I was kinda doing it anyway, (when I could), make it official. I am just going to have to find more time to keep the updates going. I do have another blog going specifically for my new art in a Drawing a day challenge I am doing with a bunch of artists on Facebook. Here is a link to that: JoelAdams-ADrawingADay

Now... The Winter 2010 issue.

I have not yet seen the interiors of this issue, but I do have the Cover and presale information!

The cover.. Wow! Carrie Leigh has done it again. I am so in love with this cover. The models name is Merrique, and she is beautiful. I can't wait to see the rest. I think from the cover alone, this issue is going to jump off the shelves, then that isn't saying much since every issue of NUDE from the beginning has sold out in the stores, and pretty much online.

Don't miss this issue when is does come out. Carrie Leigh's NUDE is offing great pre-sale deals on the magazine. If you are in the United States, you can get NUDE delivered to your home for only $9.95. That $3 less that the news stand price and it comes to you! Outside the US has discounted prices for the pre-sale as well. Go here for more information: PRE-SALES

The issue will be out mid to late February. I will post more when I have more. Enjoy!

Fall 2009 NUDE and an Adams Family team-up!

Hopefully on stands around November 15, will be the New Fall 2009 issue of NUDE. This issue will not have an individual cover model feature, but a retrospective of all the past cover models, shot by publisher/photographer, Carrie Leigh.

One of the winners of Carrie Leigh's NUDE Magazine's 2nd annual photo contest, John Tisbury, is also featured in this issue. (Photographers, don't forget to enter the 3rd Annual Carrie Leigh's NUDE Magazine photography contest)

A feature I am waiting to see is Veronika Kotlajic. The article is called "The Accidental Muse", and she has and amazing book called "The Muse". All appropriate titles to describe Veronika. I cannot think of another living model who has inspired more artists and photographers today. The only thing I think this feature will not include, is the inspired works of illustrators of Veronika, so I am going to recommend check out her book as well, "The MUSE"

Lots of other great work by great photographers and artists will also pack this issue. Even me! Don't miss it.. You can pre order this issue and (in the USA) get the issue to your door for $9.95.. That is two dollars cheaper than news stand and includes shipping.... Get them before they sell out.. and they do that.. sell out.

Adams Family Team up!

A week ago, my father, Neal Adams, came out to Los Angeles on a business trip and to visit. While visiting, my father went though some of the many unfinished drawings I had strewn all over the place. He pick one out and asked if he could ink it. To those who do not know who Neal is, he is consideder a legend in the comic book industry. One of the best. The whole father thing aside, as a bit of a comic book nerd myself, how cool is it to have Neal Adams in a piece of mine? So ofcourse I said yes. Well, one thing led to another and he inked four really nice pieces. My original intent was to sell these pieces, but I am still spending lots of time staring at them. Maybe when it has worn off I will make them available.

Enjoy

CL NUDE's Summer 2009 edition

Wow.. I am so far behind.

I live in the Los Angeles area, and I cannot find any copies anywhere I look. And I know that the copies made available by direct sale or for new subscriptions are sold out too. I hope you got your subscription in, don't miss the next one.

It was an amazing issue with lots of great photographers, amazing art and a cover model to knock your socks off, Ria Alexander, in another amazing shoot by publisher Carrie Leigh.

Also in this issue is art model Carlotta Champagne, in NUDE's first feature celebrating the models of nude art. Carlotta has been muse to many of the worlds best art nude photographers, and NUDE displays some of this work.

Carrie Leigh's NUDE at Long Beach Comic Con (LBCC)

I was at the Long Beach Comic Con, Oct 2-4, and amongst my other work, I brought along My work from, and copies of NUDE Magazine. I wasn't sure what to expect from a comic book crowd having them there, but they got a lot of positive attention and even interest from artists and photographers at the show about how to submit. I think I will continue to bring them with me to shows. I am sure my stash of magazines wont last, but I still have the art I do for it and like it. I can't wait til the next LBCC

I think I may blush!

Model and current Miss MyspaceUSA, Ashlee Ricci has not only just recently listed, having modeled for me for a piece of art that appeared in NUDE, as one of her top ten modeling experiences, but listed me as #1 on the list. Above Playboy, Myspace, and working with a lot of amazing photographers. See her interview here.

Ok... New issue comic soon.. I will try to be on the ball this time.. I have a nice piece in the new one.. Til then!

100% Wacom Goofing Off

Been spendin a bit of time trying to improve my skills on the Wacom. The above started out to be a sketch only, to work out an idea.. next thing I new, I was coloring. The Model, is the late Angela Devi who mysteriously dies over a year ago. She was a huge inspiration for me, and I have drawn her quite a bit in the past. I will continue to use her for inspiration, I think.

NUDE magazine has not yet hit the stands yet and the available issue for online sales are already sold out. There are a few copies set aside for subription orders only. New though for those who may were one are "Get NUDE For Art" Women's Tank Top. They are hot. You can get them here

New Art - Candy Stripper

Some more new art. I have been very busy doing 'day job' work, which though it is creative, it is not my work. 'Candy Striper' named because of the spiral stripes on the stockings, I did in one evening at home. I know that I will receive some comments about the body proportions, but the model was only 5 feet tall.

The other images 'Twins' is the same model, but due to a screw up on the hair and my hatred of erasers, she ended up a brunette. I usually do not sell this work, but I am consirdering selling 'Candy Striper'. I will post on my sketchbook site if I do.

More work coming soon.. I am trying to put more time in on my work and the Lilz, my other venture.

Don't forget NUDE magazine. The new issue is shipping soon. I have a new piece in it. If you pre-order now, you can get the new issue delivered to your door for the same price you would get them at a store. It is a great deal, and as fast as NUDE sells out, why risk not getting to the store fast enough
