He was strongly influenced by the early "pretty girl" illustrators, such as Charles Dana Gibson, Andrew Loomis, and Howard Chandler Christy. Other influences included the Brandywine School founded by Howard Pyle. Elvgren was a commercial success. His clients ranged from Brown and Bigelow and Coca-Cola to General Electric and Sealy Mattress Company. In addition, during the 1940s and 1950s he illustrated stories for a host of magazines, such as The Saturday Evening Post and Good Housekeeping.

    I love woman beauty and I do my best to make my work look like a kind of tribute to all women. Showing the model in the best way is always the unique goal. These women share their beauty with you, the less we could do is to thank them as much as we can.

    Being an artist was not planned; it all happened by accident, and has continued to develop that way. Every once in a while, some new and  unexpected opportunity has presented itself, and so I've kept on  drawing nudes, as and when I have the time to do so. I still describe myself as an "amateur artist". Lara Addams produces erotic drawings, pinups, and sensual nude figure studies, using pencil and charcoal.

    In relation to nudes, I work with amateur models. They pose for me because they love art and they do it with passion in each photography session, facing draw backs, long delays, hours travelling, cold or heat at times or just long walks some other times. They are the other part of this at of mine, since they give passion and effort in each photograph.              
  • Pin-up girl...
    A pin-up girl or pin-up model is a model whose mass-produced pictures see wide appeal as pop culture. Pin-ups are intended for informal display. Pin-up girls are glamour models, fashion models, and actresses. Pin-up may also refer to drawings, paintings and other illustrations done in emulation of these photos (see the List of pinup artists). The term was first attested to in English in 1941; however the practice is documented back at least to the 1890s. The pin up images could be cut out of magazines or newspapers, or be from postcard or chromo-lithographs, and so on. Such photos often appear on calendars, which are meant to be pinned up anyway. Later, posters of pin-up girls were mass-produced.
