Daniel Vancas,
the artist who owns the exclusive Elvgren art trademarks, is already known for his development
and huge collection of Elvgren Pinup art. He has work tirelessly for years re-mastering and painting
replicas of the Elvgren pinups. Many of the originals do not exist, and
his work is nothing sort of preservation of
Elvgren’s American classic 20th century illustrative art
form. His approach to this formable task was one of respect to the
“spirit and sensitivity of the time, the models as well as the great
artist, Elvgren”. It is with his years of hard work and effort and
sensitivity he was awarded both of Elvgren’s
signature trademarks to authenticate and protect this effort. Vancas’ paintings are in private collections around the
world. Many of the “Elvgren” scans in circulation on the web in pinup
sites, are in-fact Vancas’ own paintings of the Elvgren originals assumed
to be photo’s of Elvgren’s work. However to protect the collector, the
artist discreetly signs the paintings and identifies the back of the
painting with a statement that this is a re-mastered work by Vancas, based
on Elvgren’s art.
