Description I discovered the wonderful Betty Page through the work of Dave Stevens, an artist who I greatly admired and whose work I love. Tragically we lost both of them last year and I started a little tribute piece, which then sat on my drawing table for months. Ran across it the other day and this joke just jumped out at me - so I adapted my original sketch and this is the result - a little gag and a tribute to the original and best queen of the pinup plus a thanks to everyone who's rummaged through my pictures, left comments and made me feel at home here on DA. The joke would work with 100 (betty) page views or 42000, but thank you everybody!

Sexy!
I had a crush on curvy Bettie Page when I first saw her figure as a model for Secord's girlfriend on Dave Steven's "Rocketeer", back at the 80's.
PS: For a moment I thought she was giving us the middle finger!

Loopydave In reply to borba [2011-11-13 13:50:47 +0000 UTC]

I hope not. Yeah, Dave Stevens take on her in the 'Rocketeer' was gorgeous! Love that comic and Dave Stevens art!

Great caricature. I don't know how she did it, posing for all those kinky, fetish pics, and never losing her squeaky clean aura.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Loopydave In reply to Neo128 [2011-05-06 14:38:59 +0000 UTC]

Agreed! - she always radiated a sweet and somehow innocent charm, no matter what she did.
Cheers!

Loopydave In reply to Chaosfive-55 [2011-04-25 15:10:07 +0000 UTC]

Years ago I did a series of illustrations for a training video and based the female character on Ms Bettie Page.. not sure the client even knew who she was. They kept all the pictures - so this is the only one I have to show. Got to draw her again someday - just love her look, hair and ability to pose with such fun!

Dave Stevens and Olivia are perhaps the most awesome people to do Bettie art ever, you have lovely taste, and your Bettie is pretty damn awesome too!!!

This is one of the BEST Bettie pics ever!

No one knows she was only 5'2" and most ppl draw her like she was 6'0" (Olivia)

I think you have her proportioned to about 5'6"

Loopydave In reply to caesaraugustus [2009-12-29 10:51:57 +0000 UTC]

She was short, but had a real knack at posing herself taller (if that makes sense!). In making this picture a bit 'cartoony' I did get a bit away from her softer lines, but I think she's recognizable in this pic - and I'm glad you like!

Man, I didn't Dave Stevens had passed away. He was one of my alltime favorite artist. And Betty I knew she was gone, she's the one that got me started!

Loopydave In reply to BLKanvas [2009-10-11 00:44:14 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, Dave passed away in March last year and it was a sad day indeed. Underwoodbooks (same people who do the annual spectrum collections) came out with a fabulous book of his work recently called "the Art and life of Dave Stephens - Brush with passion" - check it out if you havent already - if your a Dave Stevens fan its a must see.

BLKanvas In reply to Loopydave [2009-10-11 03:05:02 +0000 UTC]

A must have for me...I have a nice library of collectable cheesecake and pin-up art books. I have most of Dave's work, but I didn't know about this one. Thank you very much!...Betty's still a doll ain't she?
