A One Of A Kind Pinup Collage From My Talented Client, Blair Barbour!

Blair and I with her artwork.

It's not everyday that I receive pinup presents from clients but recently one of my regular pinup clients, artist Blair Barbour gave me a one of a kind piece of pinup art!!!!

Blair creates amazing collages and I was speechless when she came to the studio for a Pinup Party, to celebrate her sister Erin's recent marriage,  with a giant gift bag filled with goodies just for me!  As many of you know I have a large collection of vintage pinup and girlie collectibles but to receive this unique, handmade piece of pinup art present really topped it all.

Snapshots From The Centerfold Academy!

Thanks to all the artists, models, Blick Art and Dr. Sketchy's Philly for making the Centerfold Academy such an amazing success.

Over 40 artists attended the event and spent over 3 hours drawing our gorgeous pinup models Samantha Samsam and Victoria. It was such an amazing and unique opportunity to see first hand other artists interpretation of pinups. And since I cannot even draw a stick figure, I was blown away at all the talented artists and their masterpieces!

To see tons more photos from the event visit my Facebook  2012 Events Album.

Here I am (center) posing with my two gorgeous models, Victoria and Samantha Samsam.

Revamping Her Website With Pinups!

I recently had the pleasure of working with an amazing client, actress Colleen Lis. Colleen lives in New York and was in the process of revamping her acting website. She wanted new and unique photos for her new site and she decided that pinups were the way to go!

Colleen booked the Full Day Package at the studio and in addition to getting some great new images for her website, she also decided to have one set of her photos taken in her wedding gown which was a gorgeous vintage styled tea length dress.

Check out Colleen's website to see more photos of her day at the studio!
