the only painting from Robert McGinnis that I've found so far with a vehicle... 1971 Fistful Of Dynamite.



trust me, if you like pin ups, and campy 1960s paintings of lingerie wearing playboy bunny shaped women on detective novel covers... you ought to click the above. Enjoy! Happy Friday! 

And the book covers https://www.flickr.com/groups/544453@N25/ as the art without the words of the book all over it are just paintings... with the words, it's a book cover

but with far more art, and damn, this guy was GOOD! https://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/robertmcginnis and the book titles are a hoot. 

Sunbathers Diary
Carter Brown The Deadly Kitten
Murder is A Package Deal
The Burning Air
The Flagellator
Blonde on a Broomstick

Damn, they really cranked out a ton of these books in the 60s as soon as paperbacks were the easy cheap way to get some fast entertainment

McGinnis is known for his illustrations of more than 1,200 paperback book covers, and over 40 movie posters, including Breakfast at Tiffany's, Barbarella, and several James Bond
