now think that nothing is hotter than a female form that explodes with fireworks of colors.

Of course, if you want even more fireworks, just keep turning the pages. As always we
filled the pages of FUSE with the works by numerous other talented photographers, artists,

T odd Monk is an emerging visual artist who is pursuing his lifelong creative interests. His visions are
executed as vibrant, methodically slathered acrylic spectrums that come together as large, luscious
paintings that explode with colour and ooze with sensuality and style.

“I have a background in graphic design and have worked as a digital retoucher for many years. I use
these skills in my pre-visualization process and my roughs. When you see my art, you get the impression
that it’s digital or a photograph, but it’s not. My work is a marriage of vector, pixel, and digital art—all
rendered traditionally.”

Todd has been named one of Art Business News’ 40 Artists to Watch in 2015 (Summer issue).

Well, when it pertains to the modeling world a lot of models don’t realize how beneficial this change is to
them. Now fans want to be able to view and even buy a product on their favorite model instantly. In the
past, everything had to wait on when it came for a magazine to be published or even a product to be
