It’s been two and a half years since I
started The
Pinup Shop and The Pinup Blog, and
without a doubt it’s been an incredible
journey. I’d love to be sure of myself and
assuring, and say “I’ve reached the
journey’s end and arrived at my
destination”, but life is more miraculous
than that, and what seems to be the end of
this path, is just the beginning of
another.
While
my life has changed very dramatically, in the
past year, I found that it’s very
possible to merge my love for pinups and my
other interests. Pinups aren’t just a pretty
face, and despite what the art form seems to
be at face value, I’ve learned it can be read
and understood in many ways. Viewing politics,
feminism and
moral issues through pop culture gave me
a whole new perspective on the world around
me, and I can only hope you found it as
fascinating as I did.
That said, I’ve found that lately my heart is
asking for something else. And though I can’t
say what it is yet, there are only so many
hours in a day. The time | put into The Pinup
Blog and The Pinup Shop doesn’t allow me to
search for this something. It’s for this
reason, for the time being, I have to stop
working on the blog and the art, and begin
working on something else. I don’t know if
I’ll come back to work on the pinup project,
but I don’t want to throw away all that I’ve
done and love, and I know that many others
love as well. So I leave both the blog and
shop online, for your pinup pleasure, and
hope you visit my other
online gallery (there’s lots of
non-pinup sexy ladies to see ).
Kisses to all of you,

Anita commissioned my work for a cause that’s
dear and near to my heart; Breast cancer
awareness. I was ecstatic to create the
Pink
Ribbon Pinup for Anita’s Intimate
Boutique (link coming soon), a plus size
boutique that specializes in mastectomy.
Beyond breast cancer awareness, nothing
gives me more pleasure than to promote
diversity, again, with this big, beautiful
African American woman.

This pretty lady approached me with a bit of
a challenge. She wanted a Fantasy Art styled
pinup. Somehow, I had to reconcile my love
for garters with something more hard-eged
than I’m used to. The result is this
very eclectic and dynamic neo pinup.
Hope you like her as much as I do. If you

We all know Snow White
had ivory skin, ebony locks and red lips
and cheeks. But nobody said she was the
petite character Walt Disney had
envisioned. I love my big models and I
love it when they have a big attitude
and ask for a daring idea, that
challenges consensus. Here's our BBW
version of Snow White.
So if you love yourself a big and beautiful
Snow White, she comes on all the items below:

Recent events in
Israel (where I was born,raised and
reside) and Gaza have led me to much
soul searching. The pinup to the left is
indeed one that I conjured up. Some of
you have noticed that it has disappeared
from the shop. I was uneasy with it,
when I had created it, a month ago, and
rethinking the situation: I just can’t
have it in my shop anymore.
Being an artist, however, I do think it
important to make a statement. And being that
my work is featured publicly, I do think it
important that I should take full
responsibility for my actions. As such, here
is what I’ve done:
I apologize here and now for supporting
violence andnationalism.
I’ve graffitied
this pinup to make a new statement of it.
This new statement, which I feel is much
more in line with my personal beliefs, is
on sale at
my other art shop at
Imagekind.
I’ve erased the
original pinup from my shop, all social
media sites and my hard drive.
I erased all
articles about supporting the troops. I
support them as people, but not as the
bloody hands of governments.
I can only hope
that all these acts can help in bringing the
atrocities of this world to people’s
attention.
Make Pinups, not war,

The Pinup Shop
and Blog are one year old. I know it’s
customary to do a best moments recap, but I
thought this would be a great opportunity to
cover birthday pinups, in a Pinup Blog
fashion. But first- a song:
The Pinup Shop’s first birthday is coming up,
in about a month, and I thought, what better
way to celebrate this momentous occasion than
a sexy
birthday pinup girl? I got to strike
another blow in the name of diversity,
with the help of the lovely model, who
agreed to pose for this pinup portrait- so
it’s a double celebration!

matter) and click on the item of your choice,

I just couldn't hold her back! This sweet
wife and mother wanted her pinup portrait
extra badass. The motorcycle, the leather,
the works. She also told me she wants the
name of the piece to be Hell On Wheels-
I just couldn’t refuse her. Of course she's the
sexiest mama around and makes hot biker
chick. I guess sometimes, good girls
just want to go bad.

Baseball isn't just a guy
thang, as I prove in

You
all know how much I love diversity,
so when Anita turned to me for a Marilyn
Monroe-styled portrait, I was stoked.
Nothing gives me more pleasure than
referencing the queen of all that is
retro chick.
But, for me, the best part of it was that I
get to give a shake to the idea of what's
beautiful. I give you Marilyn in a 2008
model. No longer does the slender blond
dominate the beauty ideal. There’s beauty in
all of us, I think this pin-up portrait
proves it, beyond any doubt.

I won't tell you how
this glamor gal got on the uprights, I

A few good months
ago I wrote an article about
pinups and diversity. A prominent
shortage of African American pinups bugged
me. So I was pretty ecstatic when I was
contact by my current model. Black and
voluptuous, she made The Pinup Shop truly
diverse.
In the spirit of diversity and the up-coming
St. Patrick's Day, I thought I'd retaliate to
all the "Kiss
Me I'm Irish" T-shirts on CafePress
and give the non-Irish a chance to be
loved.
After Being interviewed
by Lesbiatopia's Paula Brooks, I noticed
a comment left on
the article, by Lesbiatopia's Editor in
Chief, Renee Gannon, saying:
I don't get to say that
it enough, but now I can say it,
