Va-Va-Valentines'

Va-Va-Valentines at Orbital, 14/02/2014 from Manko on Vimeo.

logo design: Steve Cook

On Feb 14th 2014 model supreme Manko once again killed it at Orbital Comics 'Va-Va-Valentines' life drawing event.

This was the second in a series of life drawing sessions featuring Manko & hosted by artist Jason Atomic.

Costumes, projections, props and atmospheric background music was used to create a hard-boiled 'film noir' effect inspired by the work of Frank Miller, Jim Steranko & Will Eisner.

The sensational costumes were supplied by House Of Harlot, whose designer Robin Archer's 40ies-inspired cuts gave the perfect silhouette, while glossy rubber dramatically reflected the specially designed projections, and heightened the stylised cartoony effect.

Doug Sneyd at Orbital Comics.

On Nov 16th at Orbital Comics, Playboy cartoonist, Doug Sneyd hosted a life drawing master-class with Manko modelling. This event sold out within 3 days of being announced and judging by the feedback from attending artists, the model and venue staff is likely to be the first of many.

Manko, inspired by Doug's pin-up illustrations prepared two very different looks for the night.

This week on friday the 23rd Nov 2012, Doug returns to Orbital for a conversation with artist & curator Jason Atomic. This is a free event and will be moderated by Orbital podcaster Chris Thompson.
