Swell Artist Collective is proud to present the Veterans Day Pinup Art Show! The term pinup was coined in 1941, referring to mass produced pictures of a model meant for display and people began pinning these to their walls. During WWII American soldiers needed a way to keep morale up in the wake of the atrocities of war. Both pinup models and artists answered this call and thousands of calendars were sent to soldiers free of charge. Swell has tasked their roster of artists with the job of creating their own version of a pinup and the results have been incredible! More info here!
