Sometimes disturbing, sometimes arousing, always meaningful, women fine artists, from all over the world, give new meaning to pinup art.

Looking for meaning in pinup art is sometimes a little discouraging. It’s only natural that women would want to talk about the issue of women. Women fine artists do it visually. Their works are full of sex and talk about sex simultaneously.

Women and nature - the two greatest muses of all times.

I just got an email that Blog Action Day is back in action, this year. I actually had this lovely Nature of Pinup Girls article all ready for them, supposing that they’re all about the environment. Was I surprised, when I found out, this year we blog about poverty. So you get your Nature of Pinups article a little early and I get to challenge myself in linking pinups to poverty.

For all you bloggers out there:
Blog Action Day is a wonderful awareness project. Each year, on October 15th, bloggers unite and write about one issue of importance. Last year was a fantastic success, with the issue being the environment. This year promises to be even bigger. So join us!

Lilsis is a Swidish web-designer, who usus her blog mostly to collect art that inspires her. Luckely for us, most of her collection is of the pinup variety. For you classisists I warn: this isn’t classic pinup girl. This is mostly modern neo pinup Art Nouveau stuff. Keep your mind open and go get some inspiration with these humble pieces of art.

It’s a little screwy, it’s a lot of sexy- it’s vintage and retro pinup ads!

Old ads always look quirky and ridiculous. Pop-culture moves so quickly something from 5 years ago doesn’t even make sense! I’m taking you back to some distinct visual times, to take a look at the quirky and sexy art of vintage and retro ads.

George Petty - The Master of What The Fuck?!

I don’t know who was the perv, who decided to pair up George Petty with Ridgid (a heavy-duty tools and plumbing utility manufacturer). I also don’t know why this series of pinup girls have ballet slippers on. But goddamnit! This is one of those classics. Petty made a ridiculous, sexist, stereotypical connection between women and heavy duty machinery, and that always makes for a delightful lighthearted pinup.

I’m still in the giving mood and the Bi-Weekly Bombshell is really all about that link lovin’. Today I give props to Pin Up Addiction, a new blog all about pinup couture. Each post is dedicated to a retro shoe, a vintage dress or girlie accessories. It’s the personal taste of the blogger and she gives her honest opinion, which is what I cherish the most. Good luck to you (she who only goes by “admin” ), I like your style!

Pinup art is alive and it’s online!

As an artist, I’m part of the online community for artists, called DevintART. As I said on Sunday, it’s really important for us artists to support each other. So here are some of my friends, who create incredible pinup art, from classic cheesecake, to neo pinup Goth, to meta-pinups.

Asaru-75 for Diversity

Asaru-75 is all about color and strength. He presents a few different female characters of different ethnicity, but this African pinup is by far the most appealing. As a modern woman, this is a character I can relate to; She’s sexy and tough with a badass attitude, and it’s pretty obvious she’s on a mission.
Check out Asaru-75’s gallery at DeviantART!

Being an artist, I know how hard it is getting your name out there. There’s always the dream of making your art, your primary income. So I think it’s important we stand by each other. For your viewing pleasure, this is a retro greeting card created by Gabriela Arriaza, a card maker/ addicted stamper. She creates with a tint of retro and I love it. This new piece, Bombshell Beauty, is my favorite, I think it fantastically captures the naivete of the atomic age.
