Classics Illustrated
Inspired by the classic pinups of yesteryear, here are my takes on the vintage pinup girl calendars (with a cartoonist's twist). Each month, I'll produce a pinup illustration available for download to use as wallpaper for your computer desktop. I may change my style from month to month in subject and in illustrative technique. For example, some may be very Vargas inspired, where as the next month could look like something Tex Avery would have done. Either way, these retro-inspired girls will hopefully give me a chance to explore the past (along with the female form in sexy and fun ways), and for you to enjoy the present everytime you turn on your computer.

Notes: Well, here’s my first one! I had worked up the composition in my Moleskine notebook before making a larger sketch which became the skeleton for Ms. March. The colors are obviously inspired from St. Patrick’s Day, and besides, who doesn’t love a redhead? The typeface is Doohickey International, a lovely font available from Comicraft. I like it so much that I may just use it for all of these!
This was produced on a very pleasant Saturday afternoon, and it was time well spent. I had so much fun completing this, and I hope that comes across in the work. Enjoy!
