You can’t do DIY without a high visibility vest on – where’s her vest?
Health and Safety on Red Bubble is seriously neglected.
On the plus side she’s obviously coned off her chest.

Adriana Glackin, 4 months ago

Krisso, 4 months ago

Great shot Paul. I love your lighting, and your model…. Perfect!

butchart, 4 months ago

this has it all paul….. always the perfect light… with the addition of wit and wonderful story… i love the staging…. the hands behind the glass,,,, the row of cups on the half wall… the canvas turned backwords so as not to detract from the subject….......... just great work….........b

Peter Zentjens, 4 months ago

Cool pin-up shot Paul, nice touch of humor.

Darryl A, 4 months ago

Great shot Paul. Really genre-iffic!

velveteagle, 4 months ago

You take pain and pleasure to a new height…

billyboy, 4 months ago

Paul, she may have the hammer, but you nailed this!
Love your tones working, as usual, together in one direction, and how you get that Vanzella`d quality of lighting is still a mystery to me… but what it does to her skin tones is enormous, especially her amazing stockinged legs. She`s got that massive Dawn French variety of sexuality that you`ve done such a great job of capturing for us to wallow in… this is one luscious image of a whole lotta Miss T!

Nicole Goggins, 4 months ago

wow you model is stunning!!! love your work – awesome processing!!!

Kristal Blanco, 4 months ago

this is a revenge for all chubby women!!!! To be a model for your artwork is our secret dream…

Franklin Lindsey, 4 months ago

Although she’s not my fantasy girl…lol, Again Paul you mastered the shimmering light details from the floor on up putting your trademark, and style unmistakable stamp on it. Nice work my friend.

Louise Cooke, 4 months ago

lol! So funny, yet I stopped laughing very quickly while I spun out at the amazing work you’ve done here. The lighting is to die for and again those gorgeous tones. Superb!

Rhana Griffin, 4 months ago

The image in and of itself is incredible, however what makes this one for me is your description… Priceless!

budrfli, 4 months ago

great photo amazing

Nicolas Rix, 4 months ago

This is awesome! wow

Paul Tupman, 4 months ago

I know I may get slammed for this comment by some women, but this is like a throw back to the 1950s.. only the unfortunate Miss T has picked up her husbands D.I.Y. manual instead of the Good Housewife Guide! 10 out of 10 for trying though Miss T!
Great concept again Paul and I love the styling of this.

Scott Ruhs, 4 months ago

Great vintage feel to this. Norman Rockwell meets Hugh Hefner.

vincent bruno, 4 months ago

fantastic work as usual! love this one

Mark Ross, 4 months ago

A very smart pinup shot Mr. V. If cloning were now available you could be a f/t graphic designer and a f/t fashion/beauty photographer, you’re work is that good! You could work out of Collingwood and New York all at the same time. Kidding aside, this is a very tasty glamour shot. Very well pulled off, tastefully coy and cute. Nice going Paul!

Heather Rivet..., 4 months ago

you are so brilliant with your glamor shots…outstanding work Paul!!

Darren Burdell, 4 months ago

Sensational work, love the surreal smoothness of the tones.

Ha ha Ha ! Porn mag meets Beryl Cook! love it!

Mark Peterson, 4 months ago

Very nice work!

cdwork, 4 months ago

Apart from your superb tonal range and wonderful clarity, the thing I most like about this image is that it portrays a helpless woman, poor me type scenario but the ways she holds the hammer looks like she knows how to use it!

Peta Ridley, 4 months ago

Wow…love the image – sexy! Love Miss T – divine! And love your post work – you have such a talent with the way you grade your images Mr V…

One of these days, if we happen to be in the same city / country, I insist that you photograph me…I want to be Vanzella’d too!

JanG, 4 months ago

Absolutely delightful! Laugh-outloud story, beautiful model, wonderful 50’s look to it all, and such great color tones, as always. Love it!

Mundy Hackett, 4 months ago

JimFilmer, 4 months ago

Joanne A. Bradley, 4 months ago

Jeff Burns, 4 months ago

Awesome tones and I love the title this is fantastic Paul
brilliant work once again

mstrace, 4 months ago

So, I have this thing with animal print, right? A love affair spanning 20 years! Obviously that is the first thing that caught my eye. But then you’ve got the thumb, hammer, sheer knee high stockings, pouty expression, red nails and dark red lips and its a hot, hot, HOT version of a modern day pin-up. I am beyond happy that you chose a beautiful woman with curves, not some skinny rib-cage-baring-concave-tummy bony ass model that wouldn’t consider lifting a hammer to save her bony little butt (cheeky grin).

As a single girl who owns her own home, I find it dead sexy to do mundane chores around the house in my sexy underthings. Even though nobody sees me but me! It still feels great to do it and this image conjures that whole vibe up for me in visual form.

frogster, 4 months ago

Wonderful work on this

Steve Chapple, 4 months ago

So clever, your artworks always have a message and speak! Great work again!

J.K. York, 4 months ago

a master at work. MissT is dolled-up deliciously. bravo on set up and execution.

Ted Byrne, 4 months ago

And you found the reclusive Betty Page just exactly where? Hmmm…. yes there is a sort of classic problem here when the kept-woman kind of relaxes her eating habits, well the helpless act doesn’t seem quit so, um, cute… huh? She’s either got to learn to once again count calories or get a book on carpentry.

You’re like weird meeting between Norman Rockwell and R. Crumb…. LOVVIT!

Paul Vanzella in reply to Ted Byrne’s comment, 4 months ago

again, your comment blows me away… thank you so much for your kind words… this is a classic sumamtion, Rockwell and Crumb – I LOVE IT! Thank you!
