^^ Bunch of X's. He worked on some other books previous to that, however they never seemed to hook him up with a decent inker before that and they were rarely as good. He did a Wildcats Wolverine (or maybe x-men, but it was just wolverine) that was sick (See the image at the top of the page). The ones that i wasnt that big of a fan of were the end of the WildC.a.t.s.(Series 1) and darkstalkers. He has done a bunch of covers though and those are all great. But i have a feeling hes fancies himself an artist as opposed to a comicbook artist, and hasnt actually done an excessive amount of comic work.

 

 

EDIT:

 

X's are working now. I dont know maybe its my computer.

i think charest was kind of ousted from the comic world for never meeting deadlines.. im assuming if anything hes probably in the video game or entertainment industry.. he did wildcats/xmen..which was 3-d and badly colored. he did work on both wildcats series one and two. he's done a crapload of alt covers and gatefold posters.

one of my biggest pet peaves is when a fresh comic illustrator decides to leave a title but is contractually obligated to do covers.. and then they have the insides done by some 3rd tier look alike artist.

 

 

the jodorowsky stuff is cool

Helmut Newton has had it with female flesh. The photographer who gained worldwide notoriety for his coldly stylish portraits of naked women says he will never shoot nudes again.

"I just had a bellyful and realized I had shot enough nudes to last a lifetime," Newton says, pointing to a gigantic female nude photograph in his Monaco apartment's guest bathroom. "In fact, although I have no idea of the number, I think I photographed too many naked women."

 

The tanned and trim 75-year-old photographer leads a visitor through his expansive 19th-floor high-rise apartment and office complex and onto an outdoor balcony which features a picture-postcard view of the Monte Carlo Casino, the yacht-filled port and the tiny principality's salmon-pink palace.

 

It was on this very balcony that Newton once posed one of his trademark power models against the Mediterranean backdrop -- first dressed, then wearing only high heels.

 

But now the German-born photographer has put all that flesh behind him. No more shots of predatory naked women wearing chains and dog collars. No Amazonian voyeurs or sadomasochistic high-society belles. Those decadent scenarios with million-dollar models posing as midgets and wearing saddles -- images found in books like "Private Property" (Schirmer's Visual Library/Norton, 1990) and his most recent book, "Helmut Newton Illustrated #4" (Schirmer-Mosel, 1995), are a thing of the past. He has even bid adieu to his hard-edged fashion shots. In the new buttoned-up dispensation, the phrase "very Helmut Newton" will no longer be accompanied by knowing leers.

 

What was behind his decision? Not protests by feminists, or age, or mellowness, Newton says. It was just too much skin.

 

"It is like when I got tired of doing the bondage-dominated fashion shots in the early 1980s," he says. "I just couldn't bring anything new or fresh to the subject any more."
