Girls Drawin Girls GirlsDrawinGirls.com was founded in 2006 by Simpsons veteran Melody Severns and storyboard artist Anne Walker as a way to showcase women artists working in the male-dominated industry of animation. Together, they felt it was time for these talented women to demonstrate their creative abilities and artistic interpretations of female sexuality by re-defining the art of the pin-up.
Since it’s conception, the group has published two volumes of pin-up art and grown to over 30 active members, who individually, have worked professionally in various entertainment industries, from production design, film and television animation, to comic and graphic design.
The group provides collaborative projects for its artists (such as book collections, group art shows, and opportuinities to participate in charity art events such as the Pasadena Chalk Festival), in addition to promoting each member's individual artistic endeavors through cross-promotion and marketing prints, original artwork and other art-related merchandise.
