Rio - Patrick Nagel

Who is that pale-skinned woman? A vampire or perhaps a succubus? Anyway, she seems to be smiling so that's a good sign! Patrick Nagel had a unique style that epitomized the 80s. He created artwork for Playboy magazine and in 1981 his art was prominently featured on Duran Duran's Rio album cover. (Disclosure - I'm not a fan of Duran Duran, I couldn't name one of their songs even if I tried). I've always been drawn to Nagel's artwork, especially the iconic Rio cover.
