100 Girls on Cheap Paper

Tina Berning is a Berlin-based illustrator who has created a fascinating concept that is still easy to digest. Her work is usually based upon awkward and out of sorts women who still manage an appeal. What attracts me to 100 Girls on Cheap Paper is that it is quite cheap — without any hint of glossiness.

I think its the paper, not the women that attracts me to this work. It is quick, throwaway paper that still manages to intrigue. The women, who are quite beautiful, are reserved to special treatment. Each sketch seems quick, and Tina Berning doesn't seem to want to waste her time. In short, its the funny art book you can bring on the bus with you (although she is not producing a book that I know about).

Funny enough, this whole thing seems to be very "rock and roll" — which isn't to surprising since Tina Berning many an album cover and promotional concert poster. But this is a much more raw work. Kind of a strange work.

Which, I guess, is why I decided to write about this.
