Its that time of year again for Curvy to hit the shelves, and this time its joined with a new counterpart, Muscle Up, focusing on the other, fairer half of the sexes – and what a cool bundle both mags look like being.

With a few delays with publications, their schedules have moved around a bit in the last few days, with the Sydney event, now pushed back until the 9th of December – but beyond that minor hiccup, its full steam ahead and we’re all awaiting yet another, and this time a pair, of great additions to our Curvy collections.

“Join us in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane to celebrate the launch
of CURVY 7 – a limited edition book featuring the most exciting
female graphic artists and illustrators in the world.

The 2010 CURVY publication has been co-curated by urban art heroine
Fafi together with Colette Paris founder Sarah Lerfel and features
art direction by Deanne Cheuk.

More than 80 female artists and illustrators are showcased including
motionographer Irina Dakeva, photographer/illustrator Garance Doré
and painter Sylvia Ji.

Plus!

After close to a decade of uncovering the world’s most creative female
artists, CURVY is thrilled to unveil the launch of MUSCLE UP, a new
limited edition collectible art book showing off the creative talents
of the world’s most impressive male visual artists.

Curated by Jeremyville, art directed by David Mardon and Jason Renel
of The Shop, and published by CURVY – finally the world’s most
creative guys will get the chance to show the CURVY girls what
they’re made of.

30 of the most daring male artists are featured including
Andy Mueller, Buff Monster, Dave Kinsey and Doze Green, plus local
heroes Numskull, Anthony Lister, Ben Frost, Jonathan Zawada
and many more.

Each publication is available in limited quantities at the events for $40.”
