For your viewing pleasure!....

Dave Nestler is a talented painter who we've known for years from Glamourcon/Chicago. His themes cover glamour, pinups, erotic, and bondage images, showing some of the hottest babes on canvas you can imagine.

If you've seen the covers of "Skin & Ink" magazine, then you've seen some of Dave's creations.

And if you play guitar, you may have seen his images on guitar picks:

With his focus on photorealistic pulchritude, you'd think Dave would have painted his way to a Bettie Page creation of his own. The world awaits such a rendering from Dave. Check out his interview and find out why. Then post your thoughts here about whether or not Dave should paint a Bettie image.

To help you decide, here's his website -- brimming with eyefuls of babes to bowl you over:

Study them closely.... Ponder the Bettie possibilities..... and let us know what you decide!

Did you miss Dave Nestler on the homepage, discussing why Bettie has yet to factor into his art, plus her impact in the art world, check out his commentary here!

I fall over the most intriguing tidbits -- often unrelated to my targeted subject matter.

In this case, I took a look at Dave Nestler's blog to see if he'll be at this year's Chicago Wizard Comic-Con. While skimming the page, I couldn't help but notice this post:

One of Mark Mori's interests is censorship. So, we're forced to wonder what "morality" is like in the 21st century if a Dave Nestler book is perceived as pornography. Was the prosecution freaked out that some of the images depicted bondage? And what in the world does anything from Dave Nestler have to do with child molestation?
