Les Toil, the mega-talented artist with not only the hippest rep on the 'net, but one of the biggest hearts, too. I am proud to call him my friend. Above left, is the portrait he painted of me, in the style of Alphonse Mucha -- another one of my favorite artists. If you click on it, you will see the larger version; click on that and it will take you to my page at Les' Pin-Up Gallery.

Please visit Mr. Toil's websites: the Big, Beautiful Pin-Up Gallery is his collection of pin-up art celebrating the larger female form, most done in gorgeous retro style.

Clicking on 'The Dead Wait Room' banner will take you to a crossroads of sorts, where you can choose either to see The Art of Brian Clarke or Les Toil.net.
