Cybersex....Adventures in Cyberspace?


The graphic images in many magazines fascinate me. I always try to do a bit of research on artists whose drawings capture my attention. Who are these artists, and did they go on to become famous?

I found this great artwork by Tim O'Brien in Playboy Magazine April 1992 (article by Walter Lowe, Jr.)

In this case, the image tells the story (sorry, but I cut off the portion where it shows a gloved hand with computer electrodes attached--don't want to ruin a fantastic condition magazine by cracking the binding).

My quick Google search for Tim O'Brien brought up this page of his works. I'd say he has indeed made a splash on the art scene.

Will I read the article? I doubt it....cybersex is not a subject I have much interest in, although  I may end up reading all about the sinister world of Charles Keating.
