pin-up-art-stuff: Fiona Stephenson While some may head to Comic-Con elaborately costumed as their geek idols, English painter Fiona Stephenson found more artistic inspiration at the convention. Since her fateful trip to San Diego in the ‘90s, Stephenson has been in love with Gil Elvgren’s work. Currently, she calls herself an artist “specializing in hand-painted oil on canvas reproductions of pin-up artist Gil Elvgren,” and her canvases are eerily close to the real thing. Of course, she also creates original pieces, which often feature rockabilly’s leading lady, pin-up model Bernie Dexter. -- source link
