The first curated, reference survey of the state of pinup art among contemporary graphic artists, tattooists, and cartoonistsWith more than 100 artists taking part from the U.S., Europe, Australia, Japan, and China, this collection offers an unrivaled look at every different design direction pin-up art has taken since the heady days of Bettie Page. More than 200 images from the best practitioners betray the influences of the greats such as Gil Elvgren and Olivia De Berardinis, but also show new trends, including a revival in 1980s influenced line work in the vein of Patrick Nagel, and of biomech-influenced approaches. Every image is accompanied by a caption detailing artist, name of work, and major influences, making this an invaluable source of information and inspiration for all graphic artists and cartoonists in the genre.
