What do you guys and gals think of pin up art? Would you collect it? So far, I've found there are three base types within the genre.
TYPE 1: Old School:
This piece "Over Exposure" is by Gil Elvgren; 1959, one of the premiere pinup artists from the 30s through to the 60s. What's cool about the old school pinups are the stories they tell in one image. Anyone can guess what's happening here...
TYPE 2: New School:
This is called "Samurai" by Drew Posada, a highly respected comic book artist whose also well known in the contemporary pinup world. This is from 2000. New School seems somewhat based in fantasy. Hmmm....fantasy is good...
TYPE 3: In-your-face harsh-girl pinup:
"Lizzy Goes To London" (2002) is by Lorenzo Sperlonga. He's from Heavy Metal, Playboy and Hustler fame. A very cool artist; acerbic and loud. I couldn't post half of this guy's stuff and not be banned from OT.
So, what do you guys think of this genre? Does it do anything for you, and why?
If it does nothing for you, why?
Thanks for your input.
