Cartoon pinups?

3 messages · last activity 9/2/2008

Any recommendations for erotic/pinup (cartoon-like) artists out there? I am looking to do a pinup in the style of Armando Huerta (www.armando-huerta.com). I want the work to be encorporated into a half-sleeve. I am on the east coast but willing to travel. So far it looks like Tony Ciavarro does this kind of work well. Is there anyone else you guys would recommend I look at?
Well, there is the obvious answer to this one, Joe Capobianco. He has a sketchbook out that is full of sexy cartoon-style pin-ups. Jime Litwalk also does some pretty cool stuff, and he has a sketchbook out with nothing but pin-ups in it. His is a lot more cartoony/new school style than Joe Capobianco, but Joe's stuff is straight sexy, lol.
Sorry, I think I read your post wrong. I was thinking you wanted reference materials to do a tattoo off of, but after re-reading it I see that you are looking for an artist to do your tattoo. Both those artists I mentioned are still killer, You can see Mr. Capobianco's work here: http://www.hopegallerytattoo.com/ and Mr. Litwalk's stuff here: http://www.jimelitwalk.com/
