    A Pin-Up Revolution With a Twist

    Move over, vintage bombshells! The Cheesecake Boys are here to reclaim the pin-up genre with a modern, inclusive twist. Inspired by the classic pin-up art of the 1940s and ’50s, artist Paul Richmond has spent the last 20 years flipping the script – giving men their own moment of accidental, skin-baring glory.

    It all started with a simple question: Why do women get all the fun in pin-up art?

    Richmond, a lifelong fan of the genre, decided it was time for some equal-opportunity wardrobe malfunctions. Thus, the Cheesecake Boys were born – hunky, hapless, and hilariously exposed in the most delightful ways.

    What began as a series of paintings quickly expanded into drawings, greeting cards, merchandise, and now, a full-fledged coloring book empire

    The first Cheesecake Boys coloring book sparked a global pin-up coloring craze, and now, Richmond is back with two new additions: Cheesecake Boys 2 and Cheesecake Daddies.

    Meet the Daddies

    If you thought the Cheesecake Boys were fun, wait until you meet their seasoned counterparts – the Cheesecake Daddies! These distinguished gents prove that age is just a number when it comes to playful pin-up antics. Whether tumbling onto a giant cheesecake or losing their trousers in a gust of wind, they do it all with style.

    Over the years, the Cheesecake Boys have grown into more than just a series – they’ve become a community

    Fans from around the world have embraced Richmond’s vision, sharing their own colored masterpieces, swapping stories, and celebrating the joy of self-expression.

    In a world that often takes itself too seriously, the Cheesecake Boys remind us to laugh, embrace our quirks, and celebrate diversity

    Richmond’s work is more than just eye candy – it’s a statement about inclusion, body positivity, and the sheer joy of being unapologetically yourself

    What makes a Cheesecake Boy? A well-timed gust of wind, a mischievous pup, or an unfortunate slip on a banana peel

    Hello Pandas! My name is Ieva, though it's often mistaken for the word 'Leva,' and in Lithuanian, it means 'loser' (insert the pain emoji). While I don't take offense if you accidentally call me a loser, I thought I'd share something interesting with you, which I also do professionally at work.Anywayyy, my favorite part here is introducing you to creative people who deserve just as much recognition as famous celebrities. Besides that, I also enjoy memes and funny, lighthearted posts, and occasionally, I find myself drawn to a bit of internet drama.
