Overview

Finally, this is the second book on glamour art by the author/artist of ""Bettie Page: Queen of Hearts"". Now, for the first time, Jim Silke shares his hilarious first-person account of life as a ""pinup"" artist - from the comic-strip vixens that influenced his youth, to his real-life adventures photographing Hollywood's most beautiful starlets and models, to his slaving over magical images of Bettie Page, Brigitte Bardot and a host of other beauties.It is lavishly illustrated - with over 100 new images by Silke and classic ""girl artists"" George Petty, Coby Whitmore, Enoch Bolles, Al Parker, Rolf Armstrong and others. ""Pin-Up: The Illegitimate Art"" is a delightful, sharp, insightful look at the ""bedtime babies,"" ""devil women"" and ""bare-naked ladies"" that graced the walls-and hearts-of red-blooded lady lovers the world over. Silke is one of the few artists who could write this story. From his Grammy Award-winning stint as a music industry art director to his years as a magazine publisher, glamour photographer, screenwriter and comic book artist, Silke's sensual artistic vision has made a distinct and lasting impact on contemporary culture.
