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.

The Assistant & The Dom Next Door are two billionaire romance stories featuring a dominant alpha male, a curvy heroine, with no cliffhangers, no cheating, and a guaranteed happily ever after. The Assistant Lust. Lies. Power. For Brock Gordon, the biggest playboy billionaire in the entire country, it's just another day. When he sees something he wants, he gets it, no matter what-or who-it is. Life has always been one big game for Brock, and he knows he can have anything in the world if he waits for it. Until he meets a young girl who is fresh out of college. She is everything Brock never knew he wanted. She is young, she is fresh, she is so innocent to the ways of the world of men. And she has spirit. From the moment he lays his eyes on her, he knows that he has to have her. But this prey is proving much harder to catch, and for the first time in his life, Brock must come to terms that he doesn't get everything he wants. Or does he? The Dom Next Door I used to know exactly what I would do with my life, and why. I planned to devote myself to God. I was in the middle of my novice training a little over a year ago, when someone blew up my parents' car. They were the kindest people in the world, and their deaths shook the foundation of my faith. Now I'm lost, knocking around in a half-furnished new house with no family left but a sister who hates me. No one has ever found the people responsible for my parents' murder, and the police don't seem interested in trying to find them, either. The only bright spot in my life is the man who lives next door with his baby daughter. I look at him and remember that I'm a woman, not just a failed novice. He gives me one smile, and I feel some of the glacier of grief inside of me melt away. I can only imagine what a kiss from him would do. | Author: Michelle Love, Eliza Duke | Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform | Publication Date: Mar 24, 2018 | Number of Pages: 152 pages | Language: English | Binding: Paperback | ISBN-10: 1986826376 | ISBN-13: 9781986826372
