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: As these pinups keep gaining in popularity, I’ve been putting more and more effort into them. Unfortunately, the amount of effort I’ve been putting in has not exceeded the end result, I’m afraid. October is a hard month, especially if you are a monster freak like me! I ended up doing about 20 to 30 sketches before settling on what would become this month’s pinup. I wish I could have spent as much time polishing the end result as I did sketching!
October’s pinup runs a little tame to what is typically expected, I would guess (my bet is that everyone was waiting for a sexy vampiress). Then I hit on maybe doing a bit of a tribute to Bewitched, and both my friends Ben and Kenneth agreed that would be a good choice. I’m pretty happy with the end result, especially the crazy ass cat.
