Not your mother's milk calendar

Despite what you may have heard on the internet, these images are not for any of the upcoming Milk Calendars produced by dairy farmers' organizations. They're part of a series of "Milky Pinups" by photographer Jaroslav Wieczorkiewicz.

Mr. Wieczorkiewicz is somewhat of a specialist in liquid effects, which he teaches in a touring workshop. Of this series, he says "This time I thought it will be cool to approach the liquid theme in a more relaxed and funny way. So we threw some colours into the mix and came up with a personal Milky PinUp tribute to my favourites pinup style artists."

If you're concerned about the overt and antiquated sexism in the images (especially the clichés of ironing and weight-watching) I can at least say that the photographer was true to his source material:

Most of the reference pin-ups are by Gil Elvgren, who was a master of the genre. Whether these interpretations, with their biologically-correct yet somehow unsettling combination of breasts and milk, are great homage, technically interesting, sexually objectifying or just plain weird... is up to you. But there will be a 2014 calendar. Just not an industry-sponsored one.

Thanks to Ivan for sharing Behance coverage of this.

F'd Ad Fridays: Star Wars pin-up propaganda calendar

Photographer Joey DeMarco managed to combine an obsession with WWII recruitment posters, Star Wars, and tits in his unlicenced calendar on Etsy:

DeMarco ads, "Quantities are limited. Get them now before you-know-who slaps a Cease and Desist on me!"

Pretty cheesy stuff. However, the samples he posted include one epic mashup:
