Pin up art by Gil Elvgren with original photo. It’s really interesting to see which bits he changed in the painting – I think I prefer the original photo – she has a great cheeky grin!

I love seeing the original photos along side the paintings…I can never decide which one I like best though.
I feel the same. The paintings are, of course, gorgeous, but I love the cheeky sass of the girl in the photo too – shes’s fab!
As much as I like the original photograph, I really do prefer the painting.
