Cheesecake

Henslee is a particularly talented artist with a fine eye for voluptuous women. His site features pin-ups, mermaids, fantasy, portraiture, and erotic magazine illustrations. I particularly like Jack's pencil sketches. He has a couple of mermaids that are stunning.

Raffi doesn't bill his work as pin-up, but his site is devoted to attractive women, many of them provocatively posed, so it qualifies. He has nudes, supermodels and portraits. His pencils are excellent.

Kim is an artist from southern California who, "draws pretty ladies", mostly in colored pencils. Her site and art may remind you of Jack Henslee, whom she thanks. Kim's earliest works are a little crude, but she shows rapid improvement and her latest work is excellent. She does classic pin-up, fantasy and erotica.

I've covered Rusty's work earlier. His site contains glamor, wildlife, illusion, clowns and more. Most of the originals are for sale and thus change regularly.

Aslan's work is covered earlier. He has a wonderful web site, covering not only his pin-up work, but his sculpture, fine and commercial art. I particularly like the lead pencil sketches of women in his adult section. They combine the best aspects of his pin-up work with same sort of feel as Henslee's sketches.

Airbrush artist Carlos Cartagena is pretty new on the scene, but he has a quite extensive web site featuring modern and classic pin-ups, mermaids, and fine art.

This is another page not run by the artist. In this case, though, the studio is run by his son, Gregory Hildebrandt Jr. Spiderwebart carries mix of fantasy, comic and a little bit of everything from Tolkien to Star Wars and Pin Up to Harry Potter and Magic the Gathering to Spider Man.

Paul Corfield is a talented young English artist, who has grown considerably in the medium since I first added him to this page, as his homage to Petty's "Sheer Elegance" shows, and I look forward to watching as he continues to refine his technique.

Dave, who was one of the greats of late 20th century pin-up and comic book art, passed away in 2008, but his web page remains. Many of the images are small, but the site is very complete.

Don Henderson's Bikes, Trains, Planes or Dames site features airplane nose art and other cheesecake sections. His style can be a little stark or primitive, but it has a lot of energy and captures the feel of 40's nose art, and how can I fault Celtic Lace, a section devoted to pin-ups in Celtic motifs, two of my favorite things?

Vernon's style is one of the most cartoon-like here, but there's no question he does Pin-up. His style blends classic cartoons with a modern sense of style, and he obviously has a crush on Jessica Rabbit. I'm not fond of the platform shoes, but I can't think of any other short-coming.

Andrew, like Vernon has a very cartoon-like style, even more, though, it is a style well suited to the poster and and nose art that were so imprtant in earlier eras of pin-up. Both his themes and his are extremely authentic to his roots in mid-century pin-up.

Thierry's work ranges from a slick airbrush style to comicbook art, but all of it is strongly in the cheesecake school. There are a few places where the posing seems a little stiff or awkward, but overall this is excellent stuff.

Mutoscope World is a site devoted exclusively to one sub-genre of Cheesecake: "Mutoscope cards", which were collectable cards from the 40's. The covers the subject thoroughly and has an excellent History of Pin-up page as well as a number of artist biographies.

Drew, who died young in 2007, was a big fan of Sorayama, and it showed. His style had a slick quality remeniscent of Sorayama or Olivia, another artist who inspired him. Drew also did good deal of work for Image Comics. With his death, his own site is gone, but some of his artwork can be found at Grimpuppy and other sites.

Ric Frane is a talented artist with a somewhat dark vision and an excellent collection of models. With my fondness for La Maupin and such, it should come as no surprise that I like the "Bladed Babes" and "Pirates" gallery. Some of the other pages are a bit darker than my tastes, though.

Bowser describes his art as "Visual Meditations on The Goddess and The Divine Feminine - a quest for the Transcendent Truth in Beauty." and his site is full not only of his art but his philosophical ruminations as well. The art is beautiful and the Web site design excellent. his work can also be found on sites such as Jaap van Deijk's.

The original artwork at this site is all attributed to an artist known only as Tallulah, and is not strictly a pin-up page. It features new and classical nudes, erotic nudes, and vintage post cards and the like.
