Artist's Comments

I was approached by stencil artist w/remote ([link]) to do a piece for a four-part print set with the theme of "homage." I did an homage to George Petty, my all-time favorite pinup artist. His girls are often wearing ballet slippers with curvaceous legs...and they're hot. Anyway, the print set fell through apparently, last time I checked the other artists were slacking off. Tsk tsk! So I'm uploading it here now.

The spraycan is from The Art of Getting Over, a book you should read if you're into graffiti at all.

You did a great job with your homage!

George Petty did some great stuff capturing an innocence and playful side while still keeping a slight hint of naughty.

I really like the S curve you gave her.

Great vintage feel to her.

Cool. Very late 40s-early 50s look to it. I think the halftone of the can photo really jives well with the line art of the figure. :nod:

I wonder if Roy Lichtenstein did pinup work would it look something like this? Guess we'll never know. :D

"For it so falls out, that what we have, we prize not the worth whilst we enjoy it. But being lacked and lost, why then, we wrack the value. Then, we find the virtue that possession would not show us whilst it was ours."
