HAJIME SORAYAMA (SHE ROBOT) ART

Hajime Sorayama (空山基, Sorayama Hajime, born February 22, 1947) is a Japanese illustrator, known for his precisely detailed, erotic airbrush portrayals of women and feminine robots. Sorayama’s work Sexy Robot, published by Genko-sha in 1983,[6] made his organic robotic forms famous around the world. For the work, he used ideas from pin-up art, which in the book then appear as chrome-plated gynoids in suggestive poses. His next book, Pin-up (Graphic-sha, 1984), continue in the same line. A number of his other works similarly revolve around figures in suggestive poses, including highly realistic depictions in latex and leather. Thanks Wikipedia…sometimes i’m too lazy to write the introduction with my bad english and with Sorayama, pictures talk well better than words! So here’s a selection of sexy female robots…or half robots! This is cyber sex, soooooo nerdy!!! -KoolFunc’88

CARHARTTxFUNC’88 (PART IV)

Chapter IV, Fall/Winter 2009, it’s right now in stores. For that serie we choose to make a follow up to the precedent season with a more versatile line. They ask me for some more “C” variations (a classic Carhartt grafic), I’d delivered a few new custom “C’s” as some american sport inspired grafics, i’ve always got love for north american sport grafics…I mean, look at what professional sport teams have to wear here in europe, It’s pooooooooor!! anyway, the rest of the collection is basically 1 color simple grafics not based on a distinct concept but more on what i got on my mind at that time. I don’t get so much left over so, i think i’ d worked well, hehe!!!. My favourites models are the “RULERS 89” with the baseball bats and the un-selected  “FLIP THE GAME”, and i love the Bmx Chain “C” too!  -KoolFunc’88
