Jenny asks…
what was the pin up artists name who did all of the girl next door pictures? What was the pin up artists name who did all of the girl next door pictures?
Pin-up answers: You ar probably thinking of pin-up artist Gil Elvgren who did many pinups of women in normal situation – such as the “Girl Next Door.” He also did a lot of good work for Coca Cola…
Donald asks…
Who are some of the best pin up girl artists from the 1920s-1960s? I’m not talking about the people from today who try to draw things that look vintage, I am talking about artists from the past.
Also, do guys (and girls) find tattoos unpleasant on women?
Pin-up answers: Really too many to try to list – I have a whole website here dedicated to this subject… For a taste here are a few names to consider:
Alberto Vargas is, perhaps, one of the most well known pin-up artist.
Here is a web site with more names: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pin-up_artists.
Regarding tattoos – there is a lot of art expressed in tattoos and I admire both art and the human body… Today, it seems that most young people (people 30 something on down to young people – teenagers) either have tattoos, piercings or both. So that sorta of answers that question.
Actually, I am a little old fashioned – I like my art on the wall…. And it should be noted that that without covering makeup, a tattoo will disqualify a model from many jobs (exception Suicide Girls Models – but name any advertiser who uses these models in a national advertising campaign.)
Sandra asks…
good tattoo pin up tattoo artists? Im looking for someone around the ACT or NSW who is good at pin up or traditional tattoos. if anyone knows of some good artists and or shops that would be cool. I’m a fan of traveling around to places I can get to to get tattooed and yeah i’d like to find the right person to do this. Even if someone has some pics of tats they got?
Pin-up answers: I don’t recognize those acronyms, but since you said you like to travel I thought I’d mention. In the US, Joe Capobianco is really famous for pin-up work. He’s in Connecticut.
Also, you could try this website and search the portfolios of tattoo artists in the pin up category.
Ken asks…
Any good artists who did pin up paintings? Pin-up answers: If your looking for vintage pin-ups, try Joyce Ballantyne, Alberto Vargas, Peter Driben, and Gil Elvgren. Again, really too many to list, but I will mention one more name: Olivia de Berardinis

The Most Beautiful Pin Up Girls of Gil Elvgren
A Brief History on Gil Elvgren Some of the information below is from Wikipedia The Free Web Encyclopedia: A handful of American artists would lift the pinup calendar to its greatest heights. Among those, Alberto Vargas , George Petty, Rolf Armstrong, Zoe Mozert, Earl Moran and to the one and only Gil Elvgren.
Gil Elvgren (March 15, 1914-February 29, 1980), born Gillette Elvgren, was an American painter of pin-up girls, advertising and illustration. Elvgren lived in various locations, and was active from the 1930s to 1970s. Today he is best known for his pin-up paintings for Brown & Bigelow.
Elvgren was one of the most important pin-up and glamour artists of the twentieth century. In addition, he was a classical American illustrator. He was a master of portraying the feminine, but he wasn’t limited to the calendar pin-up industry. He was strongly influenced by the early “pretty girl” illustrators, such as Charles Dana Gibson, Andrew Loomis, and Howard Chandler Christy. Other influences included the Brandywine School founded by Howard Pyle.
Elvgren was a commercial success. His clients ranged from Brown & Bigelow and Coca-Cola to General Electric and Sealy Mattress Company. In addition, during the 1940s and 1950s he illustrated stories for a host of magazines, such as The Saturday Evening Post and Good Housekeeping. Although best known for his pin-ups, his work for Coca-Cola and others depicted typical Americans — ordinary people doing everyday things. … Video Rating: 5 / 5
