You may be used to seeing your favorite plucky superheroes kicking butt and getting into complete, utter mayhem on the big screen, but when they're at home, they definitely have a softer, cheekier side to them—and that's exactly what Portland-based concept artist and video game illustrator David Talaski is showcasing. In his colorful artwork inspired by vintage pin-up models, we see what some of our faves (Aquaman, Black Panther, Captain America, and Thor to name a few) are like in some pretty everyday scenarios, like washing cars, working out, and getting out of the shower. There's a lot of skin involved (not that we're complaining), and who knew superheroes could make even the humdrum activities look sensual??
"My husband and I are big fans of superhero movies and comics so I wanted to make something that combined that with my love of vintage pin-up illustration," Talaski told Attitude about his pin-up series. "The thing I find so charming about classic pin-up is that it's both sexy and a little ridiculous."
A little ridiculous? Yeah. Still incredibly sexy? Definitely.
