Could you talk about where your interest in this subject matter stems from? Not just the pin-ups but the idea of feminist art in general.
To the best of my ability, I believe this idea spawns from the influence of the media. From misrepresented woman who clearly maybe or are something more then how they are being portrayed. I guess I would say I was raised with a certain respect for woman and felt that not only would this be a great way to speak my mind but also to understand how to represent woman properly as it pertains to art and commercial work. Additionally, as I have been further researching the feminism movement I have realized that equal rights does not mean equal attitudes, which is something I would like to influence and that isn't just the attitude of men but also of women. The reason I also say women is because there members of both genders who may feel societal pressure to fit into a specific gender role/stereotype.
Hopefully this answers your question.
