This vintage 1950s pin-up girl blotter features original studio sketch “In Full Bloom” by America's Foremost pin-up Artist Jerry T. N. Thompson. He was widely known for the piece “ Want to see me swing my baton? “
Jerry T.N. Thompson began his art career as an apprentice under Earl MacPherson working at Brown & Bigelow on their popular series of pin-up calendars. Thompson's workload soared in the 1950s when MacPherson was struck with polio and he took over painting duties for all the pin-ups at the B&B company.
