Dave Navarro for Penthouse
December 7th, 2012 | Posted in Freelancing
This year I did a series of spot illustrations of rocker Dave Navarro as the header graphic for his ongoing column in Penthouse magazine. Thought I’d share a couple of them that have already been published:
There are a couple more but they haven’t been published yet.
It’s funny, but whenever I get my comp copies of Penthouse, the neighborhood guys always seem to show up at the door “just to say hi”. That never happens when I get my comp copies of National Geographic World or Scholastic. Hmmmm.

Well, you captured his eye makeup and cheap women beautifully but the typewriter drawing confuses me. I wasn’t aware that he knew actual words or the concept of putting several in a row.
You mean as opposed to his being a minister in another of the scenes? That’s a bigger stretch IMO. In a couple of others I did of him, he was a scientist and a psychiatrist. These are obviously just tongue-in-cheek images. Although, considering he is actually writing a column for Penthouse, the writer image has some context.
The first one I did of him, he was the snake in the Garden of Eden.
Are these digital…great stuff
I love the snake one, because he only talks. Now I know why the Garden of Eden is off limits.
Looking fantastic! Sorry not posted here for a while, it has been a busy 2012 which is good and I am now off the board and have more time! Keep up the most excellent work as always Tom! Hope to catch you sometime again, somewhere!
Is the bar supposed to be phallic in “Bartender Dave?” Or was that a happy (not so) little accident?
