My name
is Elizabeth Austin.
One of
my first creations, were dolls that were sold all over the world in the
80's, including very exclusive shops on Rodeo Drive in California where
I grew up. They were called "The Children Of Enchantment". My 2 favorite
collectors were Aaron Spelling and F.Lee Bailey.
I have
also tattooed for approx. 10 years, although I prefer to paint.
I've
also painted award winning motorcycles, helmets, you name it, I've done
it!
I have
also been featured in the Halloween carving kit's by "Pumpkin Masters"
several times over the years.
I have
been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember.
Over the past few years, my art has received recognition.
I paint pin-ups just for the love of the art.
I have
been invited every year to the a pin-up convention "Glamourcon",but have
yet to make it to one.
Some of
my earlier pinups were made into temporary tattoos. The same manager
that made them
offered
me the job of creating a new series of art that is not pin-up. The "LA
cats". These are cat-
like
cartoon girls. They were made into stickers that were sold all over the
U.S. in vending machines over the last 4 years. This was a new style of
art for me, but a very successful one. It drew a lot of newspaper
attention and a special on "PBS" about successful artists in the
Midwest.
What I'm very busy is doing now is a line of Cartoon Pin-ups
of Beth Chapman for an upcoming calendar. Beth Chapman is the wife of
Dog the Bounty Hunter. This show is on A&E. My art has been featured a
few times on the show. This all started with a painting of Dog's
daughter Barbara Katy Chapman. A tragic accident took her life. The
Chapman family wanted Barbara painted as a fairy because her nick name
was "Fairy Dust". I painted their daughter and gave her fairy wings, and
other touches. They loved it, and put it on the show, the painting was
also featured on CNN news as part of an interview with Duane "The Dog"
Chapman. I've been creating for Beth Chapman for approx. 3 year's now.
