Linsner, one of the premiere pinup artists in the comic industry, has produced his self-created goddess story, Dawn, for the past 18 years. He has also illustrated covers for DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Top Cow Productions, Dark Horse Comics & Dynamic Forces, as well as many pinups, short stories & full-length features. Acompanying Linsner for nearly ten years is longtime colorist Eva Hopkins.

Their first co-creation and the next project out of the Linsner studios will be Dark Ivory, a vampire love story complete with all the gothic trimmings. Linsner will create the artwork and Linsner and Hopkins will co-write the script.

The Dark Ivory statue will be sculpted by Clayburn Moore, and is planned to coincide with the series debut in April 2007.

Linsner expressed his excitement about seeing his art come to three- dimensional reality under the skilled hands of Clayburn Moore. "Ivory is a fantastic character, a whole new direction for me," said Linsner. "It's doubly exciting to have an acclaimed artist like Clayburn notice her & want to see her come to life."

"Clayburn knows how to sculpt women!" exclaimed Hopkins. "The belly, the hips, all the sexy things that make women different than men, Clayburn gives incredible grace to. I am so thrilled that Ivory caught his eye & can't wait to see it all happen."

"Joe and I have talked about working together for years," said Moore. "I think that this is a terrific subject to showcase his and my work and I hope Linsner fans are happy with the collaboration. Eva and Joe have developed an excellent character. I'm looking forward to getting started."

Edition size and pricing will be announced on The CS Moore Studio website as it becomes available. For more information, and a sketch of Dark Ivory, visit www.csmoorestudio.com/news.htm.
