I've got another Team Ellie commission to do and I'm thinking about drawing something noir/pinup. So I hopped on Google images.

Vintage Paperbacks is a great little archive of old book covers:


And the Stainless Steel Droppings pointed me to the Robert McGinnis archives, I especially like this monotone background:


I should invest in some of those "pulp covers" and "classic pinup" compilation books.

Ned Sonntag on the Dimensions forum brought up Leigh Young who does adorably plush pinups:


Which reminded me of this piece by BBW artist Derrick Fish:


And randomly my noir search brought up Shane Glines of Cartoon Retro who also had a space girl piece:


I forget how the links led me here but then I found The Girls Productions who also have fun with the 50's modern style:


Finding those two reminded me of Verabee who I found through Ryan's links forever ago:


Anyway, one of the things I wanted to do with this blog is use it as an inspiration wall. So there you go.
