I dig the cultural diversity and the new school retro vibe PL represents. No snobs here.


I am an accidental pin-up artist born and raised in New York City with a BFA in Fine Arts from Fashion institute of Technology.
I've been featured in numerous art shows on the East coast and have 17 years of experience in illustration, textile and graphic design, advertising, fashion art,cartooning, comic book art, and animation for clients like Heineken, Coors Brewing Company.Target, Mattel, DC Comics, Marvel Entertainment, Hasbro, WWE, Dreamworks, Nickelodeon and many many more.

Being a lover of old craftmenship and all things vintage over the past few years my focus has shifted from commercial jobs to vintage pin-up commissions often drawing inspiration from a wide spectrum of sources calling myself a "cultural remixer." making classic bombshell beauties with a futuristic treatment.

I currently runs my pin up portrait business over at Riceandbeanz.net as well as my clothing line FrankieBabywear.com among other things.
