Pinups were once the staple of garage, barrack, auto shop, and so forth. I think there is still a big interest in this popular vintage art form. Here is a really good link that can give you lots of ideas:

Thanks Rixafter6.

I've been looking for material on Pin up style. I enjoyed the link. A few months ago, Fredricks put out a catalogue in Pin up style. I saw it at the mall, and started looking for books on Pin up and early hollywood style shots.

Here's a couple attempts at my interpretation of "pin-up". They're a bit overdone in several respects I think. Still trying to find my way on the subject. It's harder than I thought. (Hope images pull through and not posting out of turn.)
