【DESCRIPTION】
Title Pin-up
Author Sorayam,a Hajime
Publication year 1984 First Edition

This is an unique and fantastic illustrations works by Hajime Sorayama.

Sorayama's first book Sexy Robot, published by Genko-sha in 1983, which made his organic robotic forms famous around the world. For the work, he used ideas from pin-up art, which in the book then appear as chrome-plated "female" robots in suggestive poses. A number of his other works similarly revolve around figures in suggestive poses, including highly realistic depictions in latex and leather.

He has appeared on numerous occasions on the cover of Airbrush Action magazine. The cover of Aerosmith's Just Push Play is based on a Sorayama design.

In the Venture Bros. episode "Past Tense," a character named Mike Sorayama builds robots nearly identical to those depicted by Hajime. Sorayama is thanked in the episode's credits. In the South Park Series a short scene contains the world famous sexy robotic image. Star Trek series used Sorayama to design the female borg Romulan. He did art for the T3 Terminator movie. Perhaps, most famous is not a female form but the Sony AIBO robotic pets (first of their kind) which received the highest Japanese government award.
