About the Artist:
Archie
Dickens (above photo) has been an airbrush illustrator since WWI I.
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 Paul Smith Ltd. in London. Isn't
that cool!

Below are pix from
a
newspaper in the UK! Archie is the latest sensation in England! Hurray!
