Tarlazzi/Selen. Original plate #38 illustrating an innocent and peaceful scene in the Far-West era. Beautifully executed. India ink and watercolor. Signed. TBE+. 30 X 42 cm Luca Tarlazzi (1972) is an Italian artist and author. After learning his craft at the Ravenna Art School, he became a freelance illustrator and designer. In 1989 Stefano Trentini founded the 3ntini C. publishing house, and Tarlazzi became graphic director of several series and magazines. He also contributed numerous drawings, title covers, illustrations and sketches to various publications. Tarlazzi's work took off when he suggested to his friend Trentini that he publish a monthly series of high-quality erotic comics. The cooperation with the famous hardcore actress Selen was a stroke of luck and contributed considerably to the success of the series. The graphic quality of Tarlazzi, along with other greats such as Casotto, Manunta, Mazzotti and Caretta, made the Selen series one of the best collections of erotic albums.
