Chris Gilmor is the London-based artist behind Naked Chicks on Post-It Notes, where he posts drawings of exactly that: naked women on Post-Its. I came across his site a little over a year ago, and it looks like he's brought his project to an end, but the drawings remain.

Gilmor wrote that he was separated from his girlfriend when he moved to London for work, and that's when he started sketching pictures of women.  In his interview with Susannah Breslin, he said,

When I'm choosing what to draw, it's mostly aesthetic. I'll stumble across an image that's got good composition, or the model's got an interesting figure, but sometimes it's just trying to get balance in the spread of pictures, if I haven't drawn anyone scrawny recently or I've been focussing too much on breasts or bums.

In real life, I'm naturally really shy or a bullying jerk. All my feelings and emotions are dragged behind the tractor of ex-girlfriends. I think drawing is a bit of escapism. No emotional ties to the figures on screen. Crikey, maybe that's why I don't draw faces.

What I learnt from doing this for twelve months is that drawing is really easy, all women are beautiful and no website is going to help me get back the girl I lost. Only geography can help that.

You can find an interview with Gilmor at Reverse Cowgirl, and there is also a slideshow of his work.
