A couple of days ago I posted a Marilyn Monroe tribute on this site and I posted about it over on Pinup Lifestyle

one of the members there, Rockabilly Richie to be precise, is an artist and he commented that he had just finished a Marilyn Monroe digital painting
so I trot my ass over to his pic area and there it is and in fact it is a digital version of one of my favorite Marilyn pics

it's been a while since I have put anything new up here
no real reason except that nothing has really jumped out at me
I suppose I have to wait for the new valentines shots come out

well anyways, My buddy Cherry Laine from All American Pinups got herself a new puppy and the first thing I thought when she sent me a pic was... wow when are you gonna take pics of you and Vixen Valentine (that's the pup's name). A Gil Elvgren shot popped into mind and off I went

I grabbed 22 of my favorite shots and I've been sitting here trying to narrow it down to 8 or 10 shots
Just a note.. all images are from http://www.elvgrenpinup.com
go show them some love

now listen up before I get my ass sued... I don't own these or claim to
I love this mans work and am showcasing it, and pointing back to where I got the images from
if there are any issues contact me directly john@myfavoritepinups.com
have a nice day and back to the pics

I'm the first to say that I can't draw a straight line with a ruler, and I find it impossible to even color inside the lines
So people with talent like Mario Chavez fascinate the hell outta me

Mario is based in the LA area and his work ranges from the cartoony, to anime/manga (he might not say that but I would), to very realistic
and just about everything in between

Where were these people when I was growing up
Richie here is from Peekskill NY, not too far from where I grew up
His profile says he's 60 and he says..."i paint scenery for movies,tv,broadway,pin up art, band posters and logos"

well Richie.. I just may have to create a new category here just for you
Artist (and I did just that)

These images are from two albums called "Digital Painting" and "Art Work"
