Swimware Optional

Here's one that still makes me smile!

Back in 2017, I had the pleasure of creating an original pinup for Playboy and Penthouse model Molly Stewart. Which, I have to admit, was a pretty surreal experience! I mean, here I am drawing pinups for fun, and somehow my artwork catches the eye of someone who actually works in that world. How cool is that?!

Molly was happy with the original piece, but I had a few things about it that I always wanted to revisit. So, in 2020, I went back and made some adjustments to the hair, reworked the colors, and gave the whole thing a much more appealing beach setting. Nothing that fundamentally changed the original idea, but I think those little tweaks made a world of difference.

I'm really happy with where it ended up, and even happier that I had the opportunity to create it in the first place. Not every day a pinup model asks you to draw a pinup of her!

Pretty darn cool, if you ask me.
