Today's brand new Dietz Dolls pinup artwork is a tribute to Earl Moran with ‘Fabulous Forties’ featuring a moody look at the early 1940s.

New for 2026: As I rebuild the online store, I've opened a temporary one on Fine Art America with some pinups already on there. I'll be adding more in the coming months: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/vintagepinups
