Here's some more classic pinup material for you today, this time of the hand-drawn variety: The Pin-Up Files is an online library devoted to vintage and contemporary cheesecake art, like the ones your grandpa probably had in his garage. The site has over 1,500 free images from dozens of artists—including some famous names and others that should have been—and even highlights contemporary work from those who are keeping the tradition alive (albeit in a much sexier way.) They also offer ways for you to buy many of the works in either poster or book form, so if you see something you like, you could bring it home and you know ... actually pin it up on your wall. It lacks the warming glow of your trusty monitor, but your decorator will thank you for it.
