I discovered  PINUPS around 2009 when I was in a fairly major period of personal, creative growth. I was impressed by the magazine's simplicity, beauty, and  I just thought it was really clever. I knew it was created by a single individual and that fact inspired me to wonder: “what I can create?” Seeing PINUPS activated my creative brain.
