Old School Pinup Girl style

I really like this old school pinup dresses and hair styles.  These photos are from www.pinupgirlclothing.com.  I haven't bought anything from them yet, mostly because I'm not sure where I would wear it.  I also like to draw and paint pinup girls.  Maybe I'll buy a dress one of these days and use myself as a model.

Although I don't know Mr. Plunkett personally, we both live in the same small town of Athens Ohio.  I see him sometimes riding his bicycle around here.  I though I'd feature some of his more "fashionable" drawings today.

Great fashion illustrator J. Frederick Smith

An illustrator known for his depictions of beautiful women in love stories, J Frederick Smith did work for "Good Housekeeping" as well as other magazines. He was a native of California and in 1938 moved to the East Coast where he quickly found work in the illustration field. After serving in World War II, he signed with American Artists agency, and worked as a pin-up artist for "Esquire" and also did illustrations for calendars, playing cards, etc.

Luna Lovegood is my favorite Harry Potter character

Thanks for visiting my blog!

Several people have told me that I remind them of this character, and I can see the resemblance.  Luna seems very creative and artsy, and is caught up in her own dreams and fantasies, and some of the other kids don't understand her.  I read some where that the actress who plays her in the movies (Evanna Lynch) is herself a talented artist, and made the famous lion hat herself that she wore in the movie.

These are NOT my original photos or drawings and were obtained from Google images.

My drawing of Speed Racer

I drew this picture for an art competition that is being held by http://www.maximilliangallery.com/.  The folks that own the license for the Speed Racer cartoon are looking for fresh images that respect the original drawings from the cartoon that ran in the 1960s.  This drawing incorporates a classic image on a new,original background, which was inspired by 60s artist, Peter Max.

Drawing of Katniss Everdeen by Terry Blas

Thanks for visiting my blog!

I love this illustration of Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games books.  In case you haven't read them yet, my 13 year old son and I agree that its one of the best stories to be written in recent years.  I like this picture of Katniss, because she looks really cool and futuristic.

This illustration was copied from http://www.terryblas.com/, Terry is an illustrator from Portland, Oregon in the USA.
