Contrary to popular opinion, not all artists are maladjusted loners. True, there are a few well-publicized examples of self-destructive behavior that probably account for most of the stories about artists as tormented, antisocial misfits. Yet for every Van Gogh or Pollock or Basquiat there are many more artists who are friendly, outgoing and well-adjusted.

The "pinup girl" dates to at least the early 1900s, many becoming photos or illustrations of celebrities. The tradition continues today with providencepinup.com, a collaboration of three artists: LuLuLocks, a vintage-inspired wardrobe and hair stylist; Jessica Berndt, makeup artist; and photographer Krzystyna Caldarone. They create bombshells in Caldarone's Smith Hill studio.
