Olivia De Berardinis

When people talk about pin-up art, they usually talk about the old pictures made in the 40s and 50s, by noted pin-up artists such as Gil Elvgren and Alberto Vargas. There are however, artists that still work to keep the pin-up girl alive. One of them is Olivia De Berardinis. As this genre has been, and still is, dominated by male artists, it's nice to see that at least a few women aren't afraid of painting these sassy half naked dream girls. I mean - even though the pin-up was originally created for the eyes of men, today women usually loves looking at them just as much!

Olivia has been working in this genre since the mid-1970s, and is really good at what she's doing! If she ever said she wanted to paint me, I would throw my clothes off right there and then! Even if we happened to be in the local grocery store! Haha! Here is a small collection of her artwork!
