Lisa Fary's earliest influences are Princess Leia, Rainbow Bright, Astronaut Barbie, and her 6th grade teacher, Ms. Palmer. She's angry that it's 2011 and she still doesn't have a hovercraft, but will accept a jetpack as consolation. That jetpack had better be pink with a rhinestone monogram. 5 Comments

Olivia is the only female pin-up artist I can name off the top of my head and is probably the most well-known. Can anyone list some more?
Olivia, Julie Bell, Jennifer Janesko and Rowena come immediately to mind, but the history of pin-up art has far more female creators than most people realize. When Melody was unable to name any other contemporaries, I was disappointed that the person speaking on behalf of the Girls Drawin’ Girls group didn’t seem to have much knowledge of other women working in her genre.
Even though some of her female contemporaries were, you know, actually at the same convention.
I should have remembered Jennifer Janesko. I guess I always thought of Julie Bell and Rowena as fantasy illustrators who did pin-ups rather than pin-up artists. I did some more searching and I found more names both past and present.
Joyce Ballentyne, Giovanna Casotto, Marni De Ambershay, Ruth Deckard, Jessica Dougherty, Pearl Frush, Kim Harlow, Mabel Rollins Harris, Susan Heidi, Barbara Jensen, Charlene Lanzel, Alayna Magnan, Anna Merli, Zoe Mozert, Irene Patten, Laurette Patten, Sonia Roji.
If anyone wants to add to the list, please do.
