There are many pinup artists that I admire, but today I thought I'd share a couple of my favorite pics from Gil Elvgren. You may have seen Elvgren's works on lots of pinup sites, not to mention a lot of photographer's use his work as inspiration for their pinup shoots. From the mid 1930's through 1972, Elvgren produced over
five hundred paintings of beautiful girls and women. Almost all of
these works are oilo on canvas, and fully developed finished works of
art. Elvgren continually surpassed himself, always improving in ideas, composition, color, and technique.
Its well known amongst my friends that I adore his work, so it was a
great treat when Mikii last cam down and brought with him some beautiful
posters with him for me. These were now added to my growing
collection, I just have to now find some beautiful frames to put them
in.
