Day 395 - The Wonderful Ladies of Mr. McGinnis
















For me, the best "pin-up maker" is Mr. Robert McGinnis. This is because he is not doing only female characters as pin-ups. He is in fact a wonderful painter, a complete artist. But you will discover this surfing his site - Robert McGinnis Gallery of Illustrations and Fine Art Paintings at:

Apart from being a master of human anatomy and a great colorist, he knows how to enhance human forms and expressions with a certain noblesse and distinction. More of that, he posses a unique sense of fashion, mixed with sexiness, retro-glamour and elegance. I just love his ladies! And it was a time when one could actually met such Ladies in flesh and blood. The glorious times of early "James Bond" movies, but also the times of Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Ingrid Bergman or Sophia Loren and Brigitte Bardot.
Here are some of my favorite "McGinnis Ladies". Rest of them you can enjoy on his site.
