Archie Dickens (above photo) has been an airbrush illustrator since WWII. One of his war posters (not the original painting .. just the poster) recently sold for $2000.00 at Sotheby's Auction House in New York City. Archie attended the Slade School of Art in London & became a free-lance commercial artist in the 1930s. Pin-up was just coming into vogue. Archie yearned to paint girlie art but needed to help support his family. He emigrated to New Zealand in 1937 & joined an advertising agency in Auckland. There he painted his first pin-up. In 1939, war broke out and feeling that it was to his advantage, Archie sailed to Australia where he was hired by a very up-to-date studio in Sydney. His pin-ups were soon in great demand. After some time, he was compelled to join the Australian Army ... so his art work was put aside for awhile. At the end of the war he married an Australian girl & moved back to London. There he painted pin-up for calendar companies for the next 20 years. Archie is now painting yummy & innocently naughty pin-ups again ... exclusively for MOP PIN-UP. Some of these images are being used for a line of couture clothing manufactured by a company in London. Isn't that cool!
Attention: Below are pix from a 2000 newspaper in the UK! Archie is the latest sensation in England! Hurray!
