This is our third Etsy shop. We have been selling on Etsy since 2015. We have been collecting prints for several years and decided to release a selection of images which don’t quite “fit” with some of our other themes. These items are a hand curated collection of album covers, pinups, famous faces, pulp and historical memorabilia… Gil Elvgren was a tremendously popular postwar painter of pin-up or glamour pictures which that were reproduced as advertisements and premiums. He is generally considered to be the best pin-up artist in the history of American Illustration. From the mid-1930's through the early-1970’s, he produced more than five hundred paintings of beautiful women. Most of those were oil on canvas that were later reprinted on paper. His works clearly and distinctly captured the style, femininity and beauty of the female form. The images you are buying have been retouched and restored to as close to original as possible. PRINT SIZES: - Size: Available in several sizes: 8x10 & 11x14 - Medium: Printed on fade-resistant archival quality photograph paper These prints will arrive ready to be framed and matted. They are packaged in an acid-free cello bag for their protection inside a rigid mailer to prevent bending or damage in shipment. POSTER SIZES: Size: Available in several sizes: 16x20 18x24 All posters are created using your choice premium archival matte or satin heavyweight paper with 12-color archival inks on the most recent Canon Wide Format Printer. We recommend black & white posters be printed on archival matte paper for best results. Color looks great on satin and matte as well. SHIPPING & HANDLING: All orders are processed, printed and SHIPPED within 1-3 business days. All posters are shipped in a reinforced shipping tube. NOTE: Please note that many of the original images may have faded with age or their focus was limited by the technology at the time. The prints you will receive will be the best possible quality given these limitations. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION GUARANTEE: We pride ourselves on 5-star customer service and products. All of our prints come with a money back guarantee. If you aren't satisfied with your purchase please reach out to us with any concerns before leaving a negative review.

Gil Elvgren 1914-1980 | American Partial Coverage Signed “Elvgren” (lower right) Oil on canvas The iconic illustrations of Gil Elvgren have become an irreplaceable facet of the American artistic landscape. Flirtatious beauties in light-hearted situations were the dominant subject matter for this intuitive artist, whose eloquent brush strokes dutifully captured the innocent sensuality of the mischievous girl next door. Partial Coverage, originally published in the 1956 Brown & Bigelow calendar, epitomizes the coquettish spirit of his beauties, whose nostalgic glamor give us a glimpse into a simpler time in American history. Elvgren is considered to be the greatest American pin-up and glamor artist. The majority of his work was done for the famed Brown & Bigelow, though at various points in his career he also worked for magazines such as The Saturday Evening Post and Good Housekeeping, as well as large corporations including Sealy Mattresses, General Electric and Coca-Cola. Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, Elvgren began his artistic education at the Minneapolis Art Institute, and later the American Academy of Art. His first job upon graduation was at the Chicago advertising firm of Stevens and Gross, working directly under Haddon Sundblom, famous for his Coca-Cola Santas. Elvgren would soon become his star pupil, contributing much to the Coca-Cola campaigns and eagerly learning techniques that he would carry into his famed pin-ups. After completing several special commissions with rave reviews, Elvgreen began doing pin-up work in 1937 for the Louis F. Dow Calendar Company, the biggest retailer of calendars of its day. Almost overnight, the artist became one of the most respected and successful commercial artists of his generation. More commissions followed, and, along with his work for Dow, Elvgren found himself booked solid at least one year ahead of his output. It was in 1944 that Brown & Bigelow approached him with an offer for a staff position. From that point on, for the next 30 years, Elvgren enjoyed tremendous commercial success unlike any other American artist of his day.

It doesn’t matter whether you like pin-up girls or not, they leave no one untouched. Pin-up girls tell us the story of how war, markets, and sexuality shape society and norms. The influence of pin-up art is still pretty strong. Let’s enjoy that era and find out some interesting facts about it!

Inside Story Pin-Up Girl Gil Elvgren Print - 8 in x 10 in- Unmatted, Unframed
Marilyn Conover was a very successful illustrator during the '60s and '70s. About four years ago, when she was 84, I interviewed her over the phone. Her frank, forthright and often intensely negative recollections of her career startled me. In all the interviews I'd conducted to that point (and since) I'd never encountered anything like it. My intention this week is not to cast a pall over a time many of us hold up as the last great era in illustration, but rather to honestly share a different perspective of someone who lived and worked in those times. For better or for worse here is Marilyn Conover; unvarnished, unsentimental, and unapologetic. ~ Leif LP: Can you recall what year it was when you and your husband [Hendrick Conover] moved to New York? MC: '61. LP: Ok, so that's around the same time you got the Reader's Digest job that I have... MC: Oh, it's in there some place. Yes! I remember I was doing one of the illustrations on a packing box in my studio. So yeah, that was '61, '62. LP: Marilyn, I'm glad I found you and I really, really appreciate you taking the time to tell me all these details... MC: Well bless your heart. They were a wonderful bunch; Joyce Ballantyne was a darling, Gil Elvgren was a darling, I mean we used to be up at their houses all the time. He was a sweetheart but they all drank like crazy. MC: Oh my god... but generous - at thirty five he was taking everybody in the studio to lunches at one of the jazzy restaurants all the time. I mean he lived like a little chubby king and he had these little chubby hands of his and he'd paint these beautiful girls! LP: (Laughing) Wow! MC: And you say his originals are now going for two hundred -- I hope to god his two boys reaped some reward from that - no, I bet they belong to the, uh... LP: Brown & Bigelow? The calendar company? MC: Oh my god. And his kids are probably just making an average living. And they [Elvgren's originals] sell for up to three hundred thousand? LP: Yeah, he's one of the most collected pin-up artists in the world now. There are several giant, heavy coffee table books of his pin-ups now, and every year they reprint them on all kinds of calendars and other merchandise. MC: And that crappy work to look at?! To be buying and hanging those paintings?! Where would you put them? In your bar? In your bathroom?! LP: Well, there's a lot of interest and affection in a nostalgic way for that era. I mean that's part of the reason I like it. I admire the quality of the work that was done back then. MC: What is the point of your obsession? I mean what are you doing with it? Just to do it? LP: I do it because I discovered there were all these people like yourself who came before me in this profession who did amazing work but are largely forgotten and I just didn't think that was right. I thought it was a shame that people like myself who were graduating out of art school had never heard of Al Parker or Joe Bowler or any of these artists. MC: Joe Bowler was another guy who did just incredible work. LP: Oh yeah. MC:I knew him as well, in New York. (Below, Joe Bowler illustration, Saturday Evening Post, 1962) LP: Yeah, well, so I figured, if I hadn't heard of these guys then I knew for a fact most of my peers wouldn't have heard of them either and... I wanted to correct that. I wanted to make sure that all the people like you and all these others - MC: Well what are you gonna do, write a book? LP: No, no, I write about it every day on the internet, on my blog. MC: Well good luck honey. And what do you do for a living? You're an illustrator? LP: I'm an illustrator, yeah. I do finished illustration and storyboards. Now I do mostly storyboards because there's not that huge of a market for finished illustration anymore. MC: No there isn't. There isn't. You look in your magazines and you don't see illustration anymore. LP: No. No, most of us who are able to make a pretty good living at it now do what's broadly called "concept art." Every sort of artwork you can imagine for the preparatory stage of something else, whether it's an ad or a movie or a video game... all that stuff has to be visualized before they do the final version of it. MC: I see. Well bless your heart. Well good luck with all you're doing and um... I don't think I could be of much help anymore. I think I told you everything. Unless you have something very specific you can call me. But I don't want to go back there. Ugh. You have no idea how funny I feel physically right now. Ugh. LP: Really? I'm sorry... MC: No! Isn't that funny? Because it brought up those difficult years - I mean for me. It was the pressure - I mean, with all those competitors, you had to be good. You had to be. And the cream of it was, at that time illustrators were working for Time magazine, doing covers and that I was very proud of. I was separated by then and worked alone so much that when my first cover - you wouldn't even know him - the energy czar from the '60s - it was my first Time cover. And I even got called by one of the older illustrators to tell me what he thought of the integrity of the painting and "blah, blah, blah," you know. MC: So one day I just got on the train from Westport and went in to New York and walked all around Grand Central Station and saw my painting on every newsstand. I just thought, "I'll be damned." And I didn't really feel anything... because of all the difficulties I'd been through. And I looked around and I just thought, "well, there it is, that's that." And I just got on the train and went back home. LP: Wow... that was William Simon. MC: How'd you know? LP: I just looked it up on the internet. I just typed your name into Google Image Search and one of the first images that came up was that Time magazine cover. MC: You mean you can see the picture? LP: Yeah, I'm looking at it right now. It's got a bright orange background... MC: And there was also one when Patty Hearst went missing - I did the Patty Hearst... LP: Oh, well I'll search for that one as well. MC: ...and then the other one was the gal who wrote... oh my god, she wrote one of the big books at the time... oh well, it doesn't make any difference. [Marilyn was thinking of Colleen McCullough, author of The Thornbirds. I was unable to locate a scan or photo of that cover ~ L] MC: Well, honey, if you need anything specific, if you think I can help, I'd be happy to. Ok? LP: Thank you so much, Marilyn. You have a great day. MC: Ok, you too, bye bye. * The original paintings from Marilyn Conover's three Time magazine covers were donated by the publisher to the Smithsonian Portrait Gallery. Thanks to Heritage Auctions for allowing me to use some of the Gil Elvgren scans from their site in today's post.

Best known for his pin-up paintings for Brown & Bigelow, Elvgren studied at the American Academy of Art. He was strongly influenced by the early "pretty girl" illustrators, such as Charles Dana Gibson, Andrew Loomis, and Howard Chandler Christy. Other influences included the Brandywine School founded by Howard Pyle.

Plus Size Style Icon is a fashion series inspired by kick-ass women we love in pop culture. They may or may not be plus size themselves but GUESS WHAT? You can wear their look no matter your size because plus women deserve to rock whatever goddamn style they want. So rock it. ROCK IT HARD. If you missed the other Plus-Size Icon Posts... fix that! They include: Ms. Frizzle, Peggy Carter, Miss Fisher (my favorite), Beth Ditto, Felicity Smoak (the Internet's favorite), and Eloise. ------------- Allow me to introduce you to one of the sexiest women to never exist: Hilda the original plus-size pin-up. The following is an obsessive exploration of her pretend life and wardrobe... and it may be a liiiiiiittle over the top. Not that its a bad thing, but you've been properly warned. Hilda was visual magic created by Duane Byers in 1957 for a Bigalow & Brown calendar and she challenged the conventional pin-up for more than 20 years. I distinctly remember coming across her years ago and instantly knowing that if she was a real person... we would have been best friends. Not only was she gorgeous, but she was also a stylin' maven with fashion sense to spare. I've spent an unhealthy amount of time researching plus clothing options for us so that we can channel her all summer long! I must say- it was nearly impossible to find similar outfits that were both available, adorable, and appropriately sized. I cursed the clothing industry for hours, but after finishing I felt quite pleased with myself. So- be babely now, and thank me later. All image links run clockwise; enjoy the experience. Three cheers for being undeniably fat and sexy! "Off to the races" straw hat//vintage inspired one piece//coral straw hat//red gingham two piece//red and white polka dot bikini Yellow bandeau bikini// high waisted yellow polka dot bikini ///custom size yellow halter suit Blue gingham bow///Gingham two-piece suit Marabou slippers//baby doll slip//full vintage lace slip//kickass fix-it manual from 1951 Pale blue parasol//just use a sharpie!//...or iron on appliques//white underwire bikini//white retro two piece suit Daisy chain headband//oil painting kit//nudity is optional, but highly recommended Denim shorts//bright blue polka dot bikini//rope belt//teal bikini top//tied blue polka dot halter top I took the liberty of selecting a few extra accessories that I have a feeling Hilda would have loved. I used to own a petal cap like the one below... and I now regret not joining a fatty synchronized swim team like this one to properly show it off! Blue lace bandeau two piece//latex petal swim cap//floral chiffon scarf//killer sunglasses//vintage leather pumps//the most cheerful swim cap in existence Vintage chiffon hair scarves are a summer must (if you're into that kind of thing) and you can watch a great tutorial video here if you have questions. And lastly, lets just take a moment to admire this painting of beautiful Hilda who fell asleep while reading a poetry book and eating crackers in bed. No shame here; just the sweetest smile as she dreams about her next picnic adventure. I just love her. Tell me: who is your favorite pin-up? And who would you style your wardrobe after?
