Rian Hughes : Soho Dives, Soho Divas published by Image Comics Designer, cartoonist and comic creator extraordinaire Rian Hughes has created a series of portraits of London’s burlesque performers, including sketches from life, graphic illustrations and paintings in a variety of media and styles. . Picked this up on a whim, this is the hardcover edition wrapped in red linen with art and gold text embossed on the outside cover. Really cool effect that’s better in hand.
