Jane Birkin with partner Serge Gainsbourg wearing one of those 80s swimming costumes that the even the cyclical nature of fashion is unlikely ever to return to us.

One illustrator that I always like – and also enjoyed seeing her present a documentary film on SKY ARTS (about erotic comics) last week – is Molly Crabapple.
So here’s a chance to see what she looks like when she’s at work… …I imagine.
Plus a few of the masteheads that she’s designed for the Suicide Blonde, Bohemea and Pussy Les Queer mastheads.
