070251 - ALVARADO'S MILITARY PIN-UPS 

By Robert Alvarado

The vintage heyday of American pinups is presented here in full view, with a modern flare and that unique Alvarado touch. Military-uniform- and gear-clad models featured with classic combat aircraft—from the WWII P-51 Mustang and Spitfire to the Vietnam-era F-4 Phantom jet to the present day—hint at the lure of Gil Elvgren and Alberto Vargas’s vintage pin-up art. Fun and sexy in-studio poses are shown in full dynamic color as Alvarado’s noted lighting and photo-editing techniques make each image jump off the page. A tribute to military service arms worldwide, this new look at an old tradition is the latest in Alvarado’s series of pin-up books.

A tribute to military service arms worldwide, this new look at an old tradition is the latest in Alvarado’s series of pin-up books. Patriotism. Most of the book will be U.S.A. themed and it will give the feel of the old WWII posters and pictures. People love their country and love to see it as they like to remember it and that's where I come in. As I do the old school style of Illustration/painting imagery people are drawn to that genre and relate. Not only the older generations, but current generations as well as they remember seeing their father or grand fathers in these images. I honestly feel my style has world wide appeal.
