Art Appreciation - Pin-Up Style

[The ill Jedi]

This is NOT my art, but since some peeps expressed interest I thought I'd start this thread to share info on some of the artists and their work. I really got into this art style a few years ago when I met some of these artists at the Con, now it's turned into an obsession!

I'll start with my absolute favorite artist Ragnar. His work is a bit pricey, but it is beautiful, there are a few books of his art which you can find on Amazon, they are very affordable.

Would this be considered pin up art?

Yes it is, only higher end, or should I say 'Inspired by'. Yeah, that's more like it.

 

[wofford29]

Interesting. I'll go with Gil Elvgren as my choice.

A personal favorite of mine...

 

[The ill Jedi]

That is beautiful Wofford!

Re: Ragnar Phantomime

Here's some more Ragnar, from a series called 'Phantomime', really cool Halloween inspired stuff.

I LOVE the first four...

 

[The ill Jedi]

My favorite one.

That's the one I wanted to buy last year at the Con, but it was $700. It is very big though, and very high quality on canvas.

WOW! I really like the first four as well... did you say these were really expensive? ​

I need to get out of this thread. I just can't afford to like these!!

Those are in the $400 range, I almost bought the 'Bitter Pill' one at the Con, but I would been broke.

Here's the gallery: https://www.vegalleries.com/RagnarPhantomime.html that carries them, I believe they also do Layaway.

Thread rated. 20 stars. Oh, wait, can't rate anymore... Still, very cool thread! Say, Ragnar, what medium does he use? You mentioned canvas, but his work doesn't look like a painting to me?

I just learned that the "Phantomime' series is giglée on paper, but what about the other work?

Re: Ragnar Phantomime

The rest of the Phantomime series...

 

[wofford29]

Ill, is he the same guy that Sideshow was selling the monkey statue a couple years ago?

 

[El Roranous]

I really like Cursed. I would like to buy one but I am no good with art. I still haven't hung or framed my LOTR print.

I do love me some Halloween though... SO MUCH!! I just got custom guitar picks made which are very Halloween oriented.

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

I see a little bit of Charles Burns in the Phantomime series...

No wonder they are expensive! Limited to an edition size of 13 on each of the 13 different prints! That's pretty rare!!!

Yup that's him, it's called 'The Maltese Chimp', I have that too.

I just called the gallery that carries these and I inquired about getting the 'Bitter Pill' print.
