Gil Elvgren built an empire from his sassy, classic images that have adorned everything from the noses of wartime planes to calendars, soda bottles, and magazines. Grab your pencils and continue the tradition with this amazing coloring book of more than forty timeless classics by a master of the art style.

Gillette Elvgren (1914 80) was born and raised in St. Paul, Minnesota, where his father operated a paint store. He created billboard, poster, and magazine illustrations, but is best known for his pin-up art, much of which was featured on Brown & Bigelow calendars. Elvgren’s relationship with Brown & Bigelow spanned nearly thirty years. He painted mainly in oils and used live models as well as photography for the basis of his painting. The "Elvgren Girl" was a real girl sweet, pretty, and charming like her pictures. Gil Elvgren has emerged in recent years as the artist most loved and respected by pin-up collectors and fans worldwide.
