Gil Elvgren



Gil Elvgren, along Vargas and a few others, was a great pin up artist from way back (at least for my young age...). Fanny approached me with getting one of his pinup tattooed on her. This was very challenging....the face was pretty small and the details took a while. We also chose to do a duotone tattoo, using the original reds to make the greys pop. Or is it the opposite ?? Anyways, here you got both the reference and the tattoo.
