Bye Bye Bettie!

Hey everyone, well everyone has probably wondered where's I've been well I worked the Christmas shift, My Photoshop went on the fritz, and had no chance to scan my newest work.



In memory of
Bettie Page
1923-2008

If you check back of my earliest post I did a rendered sketch of Bettie Page which i drew back in July. I was saddened to hear the Bettie passed away from a heart attack. Once i found out about her passing I wanted to make a tribute sketch and I got around to making one before 2008 ended. I know that she lived a full life and that people can't live forever but she was somebody I admired, especially with me being a pin-up artist. Bettie was a troubled girl who was often mislead. She had a gift and she wanted nothing more to make people happy with her talent. She was a great muse for me that actually inspired 1 or 2 characters I made in projects I've illustrated and will truly be missed.




Rest in Peace Bettie
Godspeed!
