A couple more examples of Elvgren studio reference photos. A few more to come tomorrow, and perhaps more in the future as we have about 85 of them. The magician is from a painting called "It's Easy" (1955). The other painting is "The Winner" (1957). Not sure who these models are. Notice how the model has a ball of thread in her mouth in place of an apple. I suppose she didn't want to be dripping in apple juice during her shoot.
FringePop is a showcase for uncommon and esoteric cultural artifacts. The focus is on unusual items from both popular and fringe culture, with an emphasis on subversive pieces. The items shown are from the author's personal collection, unless otherwise noted.
I am a pop culture buff and collector, who focuses on the odd, subversive, and fringe elements of Western culture. In 2005, I edited a book for Feral House called "Sin-A-Rama: Sleaze Sex Paperbacks of the Sixties." The vintage oddities in my collection include victoriana, sideshow, medical, and kitsch. I am also an amateur sewer, making clothing from vintage mod patterns.
