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!Related content

As usual the painting skillz are flawless, and the piece is gorgeous. In addition - the tribute is so sweet.
As a huge fan of Betty myself, and an admirer of Stevens...this really hits home.
Sensational work, amigo,

Thanks buddy! I bummed out when I heard about each of them, and was frustrated I never got a betty tribute up when she died. Better late than never I guess.

Yeah, the last couple years have dealt some devastating blows to the creative community.
And it's just my humble opinion, but a tribute like this shouldn't be judged on timing. You cared enough to spend the time on it. The illustration is incredible. 'Nuff said.

Excellent as always, I really enjoy the way you colour your images. They just jump right out looking very 3 dimensional.
I like your limited colour palettes they work really well.....
