Time Is Money, But Money Is Not Time Print
Men are simple creatures: show them a picture of an attractive woman in a revealing outfit and you can sell them pretty much anything, from magazines to toothpaste to joining the army. This straightforward insight was the foundation of Pin-Up – the peculiarly American phenomenon which originated in late-19th century illustrated magazines like Life & then boomed in the 1930s with Esquire covers, sumptuous full-color advertisements and a proliferation of hugely successful girlie calendars. The craze was intense but relatively short-lived and started petering out in the mid-1950s. War veterans returned home and, married with children, could no longer display girls over their beds. Once the dream girl went from the wall to the crate in the garage there was no reason to maintain her innocence. Although Playboy magazine was ironically one of the last publications to include pin-up art, its photos of real women actually naked sounded the death knell for paintings of imaginary ones in cheeky uniforms. Pin-Up was too naughty to be put up in the family front room, but not naughty enough for the private stash. The goal with these collage paintings is to show just how artful the pinup can still be.

Product information
Paper Options
Our master's edition, off-white, archival museum-quality paper, is uncoated and the superior choice for art enthusiasts who appreciate world-class quality to enjoy artworks most luxuriously.
Premium semi-glossy paper (Coated silk 200gsm / 80lb cover)
Archival matte paper (Uncoated 250gsm / 100lb cover)
Matte or uncoated
Matte paper is uncoated. It is generally more expensive than coated paper, less consistent in different countries, and is also not available as widely around the world. Matte paper should be avoided with heavy ink coverage, as it can look mottled. Heavy ink coverage is better suited to coated stocks with protection to stop rub and scratching (read more on protection below).
Semi-glossy or silk coated
Silk paper is a coated paper with a slight sheen. It should be used for documents with heavy ink coverage. You can apply both a matte or glossy protection to silk paper (more on this below). Silk paper should not be used for pages intended to write on.
- We use FSC-certified paper and frame or equivalent certifications depending on regional availability. It’s better for the people and the planet.
- With alkaline papermaking technology, this poster is acid-free, meaning the pH of the pulp that is used to form the paper is above 7 (neutral). The paper is also buffered with an alkaline reserve, such as calcium carbonate, to neutralize acid compounds absorbed from the atmosphere or formed through natural aging. This ensures that your poster will last many years without any yellowing or discoloration.
