American Stars on Wheels in Antwerpen

Onlangs waren we samen met BS Kustoms naar het American Stars on Wheels evenement in Antwerpen gereden en hier wat leuke foto's van deze oldtimer en kustom shom.

The original reference photos for the great American pin-up painter Gil Elvgren...

...have emerged, with comparison of the original models and his pin-ups making great images. The inspiration for his work in producing the often suggestive, cheeky and flirty pin-ups is fascinating, with even these girls given a liberal photoshopping to push the message that little bit more.

It's really cool seeing how created a reference picture for the idea's in his head and then transformed this to the stunning paintings we all love!
