2011 Elvgren Pin-Up Girl Calendar (Calendar in great shape, some notes on calendar, so it's not new, however the artwork by Elvgren is something to behold...)

In 1937, Gil began painting calendar pin-ups, during which time he created about 60 works on 28 × 22 in canvas and distinguished them by a printed signature. Many of his pin-ups were reproduced as nose art on military aircraft during World War II.

Elvgren was a commercial success. He lived in various locations, and was active from the 1930s to 1970s. In 1951 he began painting in a studio in his home. 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. Among the models Elvgren painted were Myrna Hansen, Donna Reed, Barbara Hale, Arlene Dahl, Lola Albright and Kim Novak.
