Sexy Sci-Fi Portraits of Gia Nova Featured on HeavyMetal.com

ROCKVILLE CENTRE, NY—Images of Gia Nova by SGH Photo Art are featured in the online site for American science fiction and fantasy comics magazine Heavy Metal. The award-winning burlesque bombshell’s images, and interview, are featured in the iconic publication’s Top News section. “We found these Boris Vallejo/Heavy Metal-themed pictures of model and performer Gia Nova too good not to share,” wrote Heavy Metal's editors. “We also took a little time to get some insight on the inspiration and process from the lady herself. Enjoy!” “These images were created in collaboration with SGH Photo Art,” said Gia. “He does wonderful work, and focuses a lot on superheroes and cosplay. I wanted to do something in the vein of the images I love—artists such as Boris Vallejo, Frank Frazetta, and Olivia de Berardinis. I think it came together better than expected!” Heavy Metal is known primarily for its blend of dark fantasy/science fiction and erotica. "I grew up loving fantasy artwork, movies, and Heavy Metal,” Gia added. “The imagery is certainly some of what influenced me as a performer, artist, and person. Working with SGH Photo Art is always fun, but I think the mind-meld on this project was exceptional!” Visitors to the site will find that Gia is way into sci-fi/horror: "It’s my lifeblood!" she exclaimed. "I grew up watching and loving fantasy/barbarian movies. I’m a horror nut, from Hammer to Clive Barker and love everything David Lynch. As far as sci-fi goes, I’m a little more selective. My favorites are Asimov and Heinlein." She'll also be appearing in the upcoming exploitation horror/comedy Frankenstein Created Bikers. To view Gia Nova’s images, click here.
