Author Information

When Bill Ward passed away in 1998, he left behind a body of work that encompassed six decades and more than 10,000 pin-up cartoons. By mastering a medium called the Conte Crayon, Ward was able to render unparalleled detail and textures, including the exquisite sheen on his trademark black thigh-high stockings. His Barbie-proportioned glamour girls graced the pages of countless men's and humor magazines where they shared the pages with photos of Bettie Page and pin-up cartoons by legendary Playboy Magazine artist Jack Cole. Alex Chun is a Los Angeles-based writer/editor focusing on all things pop culture. In his free time, he collects original pin-up art, works in production for superhero films and maintains the site pinupcartoongallery.com. His books include The Pin-Up Art of Dan DeCarlo (two volumes), The Pin-Up Art of Bill Wenzel, The Pin-up Art of Bill Ward, The Glamor Girls of Don Flowers, The Glamour Girls of Bill Ward, Classic Pin-Up Art of Jack Cole, and The Pin-Up Art of Humorama. Dita Von Teese is the brightest star in burlesque since Gypsy Rose Lee. As style icon and muse to artists, designers, and photographers, she has appeared on magazine covers and runways for Jean Paul Gaultier, Moschino, and Giambattista Valli, and is the performer of choice for Marc Jacobs, Christian Louboutin, and Louis Vuitton. A longtime fan of pin-up art, Dita's personal collection includes originals by Zoe Mozart, Jean-Gabriel Domergue, Olivia De Berardinis, and of course, Bill Ward.
