The picture is indeed from Matisse’s La Danse. Not quite his quality of colors though.
Is it erotic art? Should STEM textbooks have these sorts of covers? Please use the comments if you have more to say.

Dope Readz: ‘Lucky Luciano: Mysterious Tales of a Gangland Legend’ by Christian Cipollini
My current free time read comes courtesy of True Crime Author (and my writing mentor) Christian Cipollini
Every now and then I am able to break free of writing my own material, grab a nice glass of wine and JUST READ. I was more than pumped when my favorite writer sent me a copy of his newest book, Lucky Luciano: Mysterious Tales of a Gangland Legend.
The novel is a pretty dope read and I’m not just saying that because the author, “Cip” is my “crime partner”.
The story itself is so intriguing.
Out of all of the legendary gangsters, I would have to say that Lucky Luciano was probably one of my all time favorites. I love his “business mind” and how he did things, which was very unconventional for his time.
Reading up on “The Boss of All Bosses” made me realize what a forward thinker he actually was and how he in many ways “revolutionized” the mob and its dealings.
Luciano joined forces with anyone of his time that could help him earn money, power and respect and he didn’t care what race or nationality that “help” came from. My kind of guy.
Below is the very clever chapter listing of the book.
Randomly check back with The Pen Hustle for all things “Cipollini” — including my exclusive one on one chat time with the “Italian Scallion” himself.

Don Winslow shared the final cover for his upcoming sequel book, THE CARTEL via his Twitter page and I absolutely LOVE it.
The Cartel is the follow up to his novel, The Power of the Dog in which Winslow plans to set both books up and tell a two-film epic story of a drug war that spans 45 years and focuses on two mortal enemies.
According to Deadline.com, the first installment has been in the works for some time.
Winslow is planning to release the first film in the fall of 2016 and the second film around year 2018.
I am more than excited to get my hands on a copy of this book and the films are a MUST SEE.
I am positive that Mr. Winslow will execute them perfectly, the artwork visuals are pure dope.
The release date is set for June 23
Stay tuned to The Pen Hustle for more updates.
