Fritz Willis :: pin-up advertising

We don't often see the "advertising" pin-up work of Fritz Willis and here are some great examples.

"Trend" was pretty versatile as it could do the dishes, wash that flimsy lingerie AND make sure your nylons sparkled!

On 22.11.2010 we launched Nathallie Rattner's 1st gallery at The Pin-up Files. If you have not yet seen her work it is not to be missed!!

Nathalie maintains her reputation for being a prolific artist and continues her pin-up work into 2011. We hope to be able to continue to showcase selections of her new work on site soon after publication.

Our latest Nathalie Rattner fix has just been uploaded to the main site! I first saw it a couple of days ago and was quite astonished - see what you think. A very weird and wonderful work of work of powerful beauty!!

"We are delighted to announce that the Nathalie Rattner gallery at the The Pin-up Files has just gone live! She is a prolific, and technically brilliant young artist and we are launching her gallery with her series of pin-ups begun in 2010.

"Her work is stunning and her sense of composition and instinctive grasp of "pin-up realism" are masterful.

"With her unique method of combining shaved charcoal, graphite and dry pastel with ink and airbrushing techniques, she is able to breathe distinctive life and energy into these classic pieces of art".

"We are about to start work on a new gallery at The Pin-up Files for Canadian artist Nathalie Rattner. Her work is absolutely beautiful and we are delighted she made contact with us.

"Nathalie's series of pin-up artworks takes her audience on a journey through the glamour and beauty of the 1930s, '40s and '50s, all the way up to the best modern day examples of the art-form.

"We hope to go live with Nathalie's gallery of pin up girl painting's at some point next week. Watch out for our announcement".
