From the Imagination of Brian Scheer:


This piece has a bit of history. I work with some of the funniest, people a person could ever have the pleasure of meeting. Lunchtime is when some of the most hilarious conversations happen, mostly on the way to some eatery or another.

I had bought a book of pin-up art for study and happened to be at Mr. Scheer's house, when I noticed how awful some of the pin-ups were. While some are a traditional appreciation of one of the finest forms known to man, some are as demeaning and insulting as black minstrel shows. The worst were the "humorous" titles floating next to the sultry, yet embarrassing figures. Brian took a look and sprang into this creation of a "Sexy" Minotaur, I don't really fully know how this became a topic of discussion, but, here it came from the ectoplasmic miasma of imagination.

I agreed to draw such a beast, even though I had not known where to begin. I knew what a Minotaur was, and knew it needed a pin-up body but, I didn't really feel up to the challenge. I began a few sketches but, nothing worthwhile or worthy of showing. For almost two years Brian kept after me to draw The Sexy Minotaur, finally I thought it would be a good story and a fantastic post. So I took an old sketch and went to work. You see the result and I have one question for any onlookers...

Is it not sexy?
